==Early life==
Rice was born into a Kanien'kehaka (Mohawk) family in 1972 in Kahnawake, Quebec, and is proud of her heritage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Biography at Alex Rice website )〕 Through her father she is a member of the Rice family of Kahnawake, having descended from Edmund Rice, an early immigrant to Massachusetts Bay Colony.〔Parkman, Ebenezer. 1906. ''The Story of the Rice Boys: Captured by the Indians August 8, 1704.'' Westborough Historical Society, Westborough, MA. 7pp. ( Download PDF )〕 Two Rice boys were taken captive as a child in 1704 from Massachusetts, and taken to Kahnawake, Quebec where they were adopted by Mohawk families and became assimilated. Alex is descended from one of them.〔McAleer, Beth and Robert V. Rice. (2005). "Y-DNA Secures Identity of Rice Mohawk Native American with Edmund Rice Haplotype," ''New England Ancestors'' 6(4):48-50.〕
Born on the Kahnawake Mohawk reserve in Quebec, Canada, Rice spent the majority of her childhood with her family in Brooklyn, New York. Her father was among a community of Mohawk ironworkers, who settled in what is now Boerum Hill. The men worked on skyscrapers and bridges, and the women made community. The Mohawk called their neighborhood "Little Caughnawaga", after their homeland.〔(Reaghan Tarbell, ''To Brooklyn and Back: A Mohawk Journey'', 2009, PBS )〕
There Rice attended local schools and trained to become a professional dancer at local dance studios; she developed a passion for acting when she landed a part in an educational video produced at her grammar school.〔 She attended Our Lady of Perpetual Help High School in Brooklyn.〔 In 1990, after her father died and she graduated from high school, Alex and her mother Melody Rice moved back to Kanawake.〔 She attended Dawson College and Concordia University in Montreal, where she earned a degree in library science.〔
