a traditional divinatory game played with one's eyes closed where the aim is to insert one's finger through the cavity of a beaver pelvis held over one's head by the opposite hand, success being a good omen that the player will soon find a beaver lodge, while failure by touching the pelvic bone is a bad omen that the player will instead fall in the water
