The indigenous peoples in Brazil have things in common but they are also very different one from each other.

Their festivals and games, their ways of playing, teaching and learning, all vary greatly. They have different myths and rituals. They paint different designs. They make different sorts of handcrafts. They have different kinds of music and songs!

Indigenous peoples also build homes in a variety of ways. They live in contrasting landscapes. They eat different types of food. Some groups mainly eat fish. Some hunt animals. Some eat the meat of cattle and chickens that they have raised.
