There are places on earth where people live together in harmony, each practicing a different religion. There are places in the world where food is still hunted and gathered without modern influence. There are islands and whole civilisations unchanged by industry, economics, religion or even science- life has been the same in these places for centuries. 'Unusual Cultures' is a fascinating look at people and their practises and the significance they play in day to day life. We explore culture from times earliest civilisations to the present day.

The Nambiquara of Mato Grosso are trying to re-establish their traditional practices. In The Girl's Celebration a girl undergoes puberty rites after her first menstruation, entering seclusion for several months; a neighboring village is then invited to fetch her out of isolation and to take part in a feast and celebration. The Nambiquara of Mato Grosso are trying to re-establish their traditional practices. In The Girl's Celebration a girl undergoes puberty rites after her first menstruation, entering seclusion for several months; a neighboring village is then invited to fetch her out of isolation and to take part in a feast and celebration. Ceremonies like this double as political events, strengthening ties between Nambiquara and other Indian groups, and watching video footage of the ceremony allows the people of the village to assess themselves and their visitors. Video also allows the Nambiquara to proudly record the revival of their most distinctive practice: the lip and nose-piercing of boys.
