I'm reminded of the radio lab episode about the color blue which suggests that ancient cultures without the ability to make blue dye don't perceive that color (at the very least, they didn't have a word for it). Manipulation and perception appear to be quite linked.

that's more about categorization than perception - some cultures don't have a word just for blue, but they still very much perceive it. it's just lumped into the same category as green ("grue").
