"There's music and then there's music. Just ask anyone who's heard Sakoieta' Widrick's new release, By Sacred Waters. This U. S. born musician, currently residing in Selkirk, Manitoba, with the Ojibway people, is one of the most talented flute players you may ever hear. Widrick is a genius when it comes to manipulating the magical sounds of his hand carved flute. By Sacred Waters, is unquestionably one of the best new Aboriginal artist releases of 1995." --John Copley, Musical Editor, Alberta Native News.

"Sakoieta' Widrick is a gentle, quiet, man. The flute, whether he is working on it in his shop or playing a song on it, is the instrument that is the exemplification of his life. Truly this man is one of the finer, more gifted artists in both making flutes and playing them." --Chris Scherza, Musical Editor, Neechi Culture Magazine.
