NHL legend Carey Price has joined a growing list of high-profile Canadians calling for significant changes to the Indian Act, a piece of legislation that has been in place since 1876 and governs the lives of Indigenous people in Canada. In a recent statement, Price expressed his support for reform, citing the need to address systemic inequalities and give Indigenous communities more autonomy over their own affairs. The former Montreal Canadiens goalie is not alone in his advocacy, with many others including Indigenous leaders, activists, and celebrities speaking out against the Act's restrictive provisions. As Canada continues to grapple with its complex and often fraught history with Indigenous peoples, Price's high-profile endorsement of change is likely to bring renewed attention to this pressing issue.
