“...
yes, I did read the book. It's very good to read
over the camp fire or campout. Find that the book also
brings back the years when our grandparents lived their
lives. It brings back the old days.”
—Mike Nitsiza, counsellor, Mezi Community School, Wha
Ti, Northwest Territories

"Tatsea
is a compelling story. I read it on transit to and from work
and as I got into the story, I found it so powerful and unrelenting,
I wished my day away to get back on the bus and continue the
story! I gave the manuscript to my 12 year old daughter who
finished it in 2 days with great enthusiasm and
excitement. What else can I say. It is a good, exciting read!”
—Jim Martin, former Director of Education, Dogrib Divisional
Board of Education

“This
is a dramatic novel with powerful spiritual undertones and
strong, well-drawn characters. It is rich in aboriginal history
and culture, a result of extensive research and an obvious
admiration for the subject matter ...Armin switches from the
comic voice of his earlier novels to the stirring voice of
Tatsea as deftly as a skilled character actor slips from one
role into the next.”
—Deborah Froese, author of Into the Fire, writing
in Wordwrap
