#MontrealCanadiens goalie Carey Price is doing what he can to help save a young girl’s life.

Teaming up with #HockeyGivesBlood on social media, Price posted a video on Thursday that urged young people with #FirstNations ancestry to #DonateBlood.

“I’m on here asking everyone with an #Indigenous background between the ages of 17 and 35 to join the #CanadianBloodService #StemCellRegistry,” he said.

#SixtiesScoop #activist Katherine Strongwind called the move from #RCMP an “insult.”

She said there is “nothing #Indigenous about the RCMP.”

“They can hire Indigenous people but it doesn’t change their many #HumanRights violations and their continued role in #MMIWG. #RibbonSkirts are #sacred & not to be associated with #genocide,” she said, adding whoever thought of the idea should be fired.
