*Facilitators: Ursula Pfahler *is the owner and operator of Poda
Communications, a tourism consulting and training business. She has
facilitated a wide variety of tourism workshops in BC communities and
regularly presents on Heritage/Cultural Tourism issues at tourism
conferences and in educational institutions such as the Cultural
Resource Management Program at UVic, the Tourism Management Program at
Capilano College and Camosun College. She has been involved in BC's
tourism industry for almost 13 years -- and all aspects of group travel
including tour design, administration and marketing. Ursula has a
passion for aboriginal tourism and has been a member of Aboriginal
Tourism BC since 1999. Ursula is a certified SuperHost community trainer

*Souie Gorup *was born in Halifax, NS of Mi'kmaq parentage. She began
her career by working and living with the Inuit of Northern Quebec
carrying out community based research by mapping and recording world
views, Inuit scientific knowledge, and life histories. She has been
living in Coast Salish territories for 13 years. Souie worked in the
treaty process with the Te'mexw Treaty Association for 8 years
conducting community based research, resource use mapping and oral
histories. She has developed many friendships with the elders whose
understanding, stories and perceptions she helps document. She sees the
world through their eyes and from this experience, believes Aboriginal
tourism is a vehicle to create a better understanding between cultures
and empower First Nations, especially youth. Souie volunteers on the
Board of Directors with Aboriginal Tourism BC since 2003 which is how
she came to know Ursula! She worked for Parks Canada's Gulf Islands
National Park Reserve for almost three years as First Nations Liaison
and played a key role in the development of the First Nations Program
that assists First Nations tourism initiatives, training and the
delivery of a youth camp and other special events. Souie now works as an
Aboriginal Advisor with the Provincial Government.

style="font-size: 9pt; color: black;" lang="EN-CA">was born in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Halifax</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">NS</st1:State></st1:place>
of
Mi’kmaq parentage. She began her career by working and living with the
Inuit of Northern Quebec carrying out community based research by
mapping and
recording world views, Inuit scientific knowledge, and life histories.
She has
been living in Coast Salish territories for 13 years. Souie worked in
the
treaty process with the Te’mexw Treaty Association for 8 years
conducting
community based research, resource use mapping and oral histories. She
has
developed many friendships with the elders whose understanding, stories
and
perceptions she helps document. She sees the world through their eyes
and from
this experience, believes Aboriginal tourism is a vehicle to create a
better
understanding between cultures and empower First Nations, especially
youth.
Souie volunteers on the Board of Directors with Aboriginal Tourism BC
since
2003 which is how she came to know Ursula! She worked for Parks
Canada’s
Gulf Islands National Park Reserve for almost three years as First
Nations
Liaison and played a key role in the development of the First Nations
Program
that assists First Nations tourism initiatives, training and the
delivery of a
youth camp and other special events. Souie now works as an Aboriginal
Advisor
with the Provincial Government.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
