THE LEGIEN

The Legien is a tribe that originated in central america. The tribe consisted of many rules (up to 200), but none as harsh as the "Aplak" rule. The Aplak rule states that, according to religion, all members must wear multi-colored hats, made of Alpaca fur. The multi-colored hat connected there spirits to the Earth Mother, Ka-Ka Kre, for the Alpaca was her sacred animal. the hats had to be multi-colored, because bright colors was to protect the wearer from dark, evil spirits. If a member of the Legien Tribe betrayed them, there multi-colored hat would be burned, and he would have a black hat tied to his hair, to warn others he should not be trusted.

Young members of the Legien tribe had their hats sewn with long braids down the side, to show that they should be treated like a child. Every year, they have one inch snipped of, until they have no more alpaca fur left. Then they had the ceremony of adulthood, in which they burn the hat, with all of their friends and family. Then the adult hat is donned. The adult hat is different, because instead of cutting of inches, they sew on inches of Alpaca fur. The older the adult gets, the more string will be braided on. When the old tribe member dies, the hat effectively turns into a shroud, covering their whole body in braided fur. The shroud is then burned, releasing the soul into Heaven.
