Once a person decides that they would like to live the culture of the Sacred Circle. To begin a new life following the Path of the Great Manitou, one of his children, walking in the footsteps of our Great Father, to grow up to become like Him. This is marked by the adoption ceremony, where those who have shown that they can care for others, without taking offence, are adopted into the family of The Father of Manitou.

To find a family where a person can bear their burdens, to lighten that family's load; to care for them when they are suffering; to comfort them when they need comforting; always establishing peace; to be the example of living the way of the Gitchi Manitou in all circumstances; is a great blessing!
