| Minisino is the highest honor that may be bestowed upon a Firecrafter. The word Minisino is a Miami Indian word meaning tried and proven. Minisino is a rank that can be earned. While one cannot set out to candidate for this rank. Canidates are "tapped out" after selection by committee. A canidiacy is for two camping weeks and the requirements are secret "known only to Minisinos and Minisino candidates." However, one can fail (and "fail" is the word used) a candidacy and many Minisinos have endured more than one canidacy before passing and being crowned. A youth is eligible to be tapped out for Minisino the summer following his becoming Firecrafter, though it usally takes three years. To be tapped out, a Firecrafter must demonstrate outstanding qualities of friendship, leadership, and service. After a Firecrafter is tapped out, he successfully completes a two-week candidacy at one of the council camps to become a Minisino. An adult's Minisino candidacy begins the minute he becomes a Firecrafter. He too must demonstrate the outstanding qualities of a Firecrafter. After being a Firecrafter for at least four years, he can be crowned Minisno. |
