The tutor went for the candidate and brought him into the enclosure to the accompaniment of chants and drum and rattle soundings. With four bears the tutor and the candidate journeyed four times around the Midewigun. Four great lynxes who guarded the lodge, tried to discourage the candidate.

Entering the inner lodge by the eastern entrance the candidate petitioned in chant:

I come

From life old,

I seek

Life new.

The members of the Midewewin chanted:

From another time

Comes one.

Into a new time

Becomes a brother.
