Storm Tribe explicitly states that the Resheathing is Orlanthi (and it is tied to an Orlanthi myth). Other cultures might have comparable rites but they would be different.

I suspect that it is part of the old Orlanthi inclusiveness, something that is no longer a feature of Orlanthi culture except in the from of traditions like the Resheathing and the Bonding of Tricksters.
