Marianne Uapukuniss Kanapé, an Innu painter and speaker from the Pessamit First Nation, designs cultural and creative tourism experiences in which painting becomes a language of connection and discovery. Through her projects and public speaking, she invites visitors to connect with the land and discover the richness of Indigenous cultures, in an approach rooted in sharing, transmission, and reconciliation.

An Innu from the Pessamit community, Pierre is a development consultant and also serves as an eco-consultant for Tourisme Autochtone Québec. He also represents his organization on the Board of Directors of Tourisme Durable Québec. His role allows him to use his expertise to help advance responsible, sustainable tourism in Indigenous communities, many of which are located in remote areas of Quebec.
