hair stories in it.
1396
01:17:32,903 --> 01:17:35,239
It's mostly from American Indian tribes.
1397
01:17:35,239 --> 01:17:40,118
There are some tribes who believe that
a person's hair holds all their thoughts,
1398
01:17:40,118 --> 01:17:41,954
even after death.
1399
01:17:41,954 --> 01:17:44,790
The idea being that
one must have pure intentions,
1400
01:17:44,790 --> 01:17:47,793
so that enemies can't use
the hair they leave behind
1401

could somehow be related?

01:17:55,759 --> 01:18:00,514

was enchanted, or‐‐

the native tribes of this land
1408
01:18:06,979 --> 01:18:09,815
and the ones brought here were wise
about things we've forgotten?
1409

Things we consider... magic?
1410
01:18:12,317 --> 01:18:15,362

supposing and what if‐ing,
1411
01:18:15,362 --> 01:18:18,740

stereotyped a whole group of people.
