Of course. You were trained to perceive time according to a definition which physicists have experimentally proven to be wrong. Those villagers intuitively developed a definition of time based on the link between place and time, which predates Minkowski and Einstein's definition of space time, and implemented it into their language and culture to the point where their perception produces an internal compass and local positioning system.
While the rest of the world are still slaves to the numbers produced by the ticks and tocks of a mechanical device because big shadow means sleepy time, and bright light means worky time.
What a bunch of primitive cavemen, figuring out a way to never be late for anything ever again.
