Is there not a screw holding it on?

Pull your handle like you opening the door. There should be the screw mikes4runner mentioned, usually a Phillips. Remove this. The hoop-style handle should be attatched to an actuator rod by a small plastic bushing in a hole on the inner part of the handle. Just slip this out. Tying a peice of string to the rod should help later when you put it all back together. The trim bezel around the handle snaps in I think. (I'd go check but it is snowing and I have bare feet, sorry bro!)

If this doesn't help, let us know and I will venture out into the frozen winter fricken' wonderland and check for ya!
