Paul Kane” says: 
The game is called lehallum, and is played with ten small circular pieces of 
wood, one of which is marked black; these pieces are shuffled about rapidly 
between two bundles of frayed cedar bark. His opponent suddenly stops his 
shuffling and endeavors to guess in which bundle the blackened piece is con- 
cealed. They are so passionately fond of this game that they frequently pass 
two or three consecutive days and nights at it without ceasing.
