Personal life
Lynda is married to Jerry Price,a former ice hockey player, [27] and Anahim Lake's adult-education teacher. [28] She has two children [22] including hockey player Carey Price,and three grandchildren. [29]
She and family moved to Vancouver, [30] but moved back to Anahim Lake in 1990 to be closer to her roots. [8] [9]
Like many Status Indian First Nations women who married non-status men,Price's mother was enfranchised as a non-Status Indian,losing Indian Status when she married James Holte in 1948. Even though Theresa is a First Nations woman,Price was rendered ineligible for Indian Status,since neither of her parents had Status at the time of her birth. In 1985,Price regained status (subsection 6(2)) through Bill C-31,an amendment to the Indian Act.
In October 2025,Price requested that the Indian Act "be amended to comply with Canada’s Constitution Act,Charter of Rights and Freedoms,s. 15 equality rights for siblings within the same family unit." [6] Price's brother,Mike Holte,has daughter who was born before April 17,1985,and was therefore granted 6(1) status under Bill C-31. As Price's two children were born after April 17,1985,they were granted 6(2) status. This creates a situation where two siblings are not entitled to the same right to pass down their Indian Status to their grandchildren. Mike Holte's grandchildren have 6(2) Indian Status,while his sister Lynda Price's grandchildren are not entitled to Indian Status,given the Indian Act's second-generation cut-off rule. Price is making the argument that siblings within the same family unit should be granted equality under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. [6]
