In this chapter, divination is intended to comprise a wide range of activities. These activities may include formal divination, such as the turtle carapace oracles of Bronze Age China, the scapula oracles of the Northern Native Americans and many other formal, traditional divination methods. The relationship between divination and the imposition of random choice mechanisms on human decision-making is particularly evident in oracles applied to hunting decisions. Khayyam Moore's focus is on the divination practices of the North American Montagnais-Naskapi who use, among other things, the shoulder blade of a caribou as an instrument within an oracle. Moore's expressed purpose is to analyse the quality of this oracle as a problem-solving mechanism. The extreme version of the modernist perspective is expressed in an analysis of divination carried out to assist hunting decisions by Moore. There are a number of instruments within international law and policy that may be relevant to the issue of supporting divination as a positive conservation practice.
