I thought that completing Sons of Tecumseh would be the best part of this adventure in book writing. It turns out that the conversations that come about from sharing the book, and asking what people thought about the story, are by far the most gratifying and interesting.

"Maurice Switzer's novel, Sons of Tecumseh, takes you on a historical fiction journey spanning two centuries of First Nations’ political challenges. The story follows Peshu Butler, a direct descendant of Tecumseh, who has to come to the realization that some elected Chiefs are willing to sell out their own people. Switzer does a wonderful job of connecting the past and present, showing that unity of all tribes is as important today as it was in 1812. I was encouraged by Switzer’s voice calling for equality of all First Nations citizens, whether living on or off reserves. His characters feel real and alive, provoking sympathy for their plight, encouraging further research into the many injustices endured by First Nations."

"I give it seven shining stars. The story drew me in from the first sentence and held me captive to the final words. The author weaves in untold truths of history with a modern era mystery and an authentic cast of characters who feel like people that you know. The illustrations are like a beaded plume of wisdom that sparkle throughout the braid. Without giving any spoilers away, I’ll share that I was stricken and found myself rereading excerpts and reflecting. Whether you’re interested in an entertainment piece to escape into or want to know more about our history from outside of the encyclopedia, I recommend connecting with Sons of Tecumseh."
