Joan Phillip Indigenous rights British Columbia politics MLA death Syilx Okanagan Nation

Amshen Joan Phillip, a prominent British Columbia MLA and Indigenous rights advocate, has died at the age of 74. Phillip, who represented the Vancouver-Strathcona riding for the NDP since 2023, passed away in the hospital surrounded by her family after battling a kidney infection and septic shock.

A member of the Penticton Indian Band and part of the Syilx Okanagan Nation, Phillip was a highly respected figure in B.C. politics. The Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) described her as a ‘fearless warrior and inspirational leader.’ Her husband, Stewart Phillip, serves as the Grand Chief of the UBCIC.

Premier David Eby expressed grief over her passing, calling her an ‘epic fighter’ who dedicated her life to social fairness. The Okanagan Nation Alliance also issued condolences, noting her lasting legacy of leadership and advocacy for Indigenous nations.
