500        |a This image is part of Album B containing images taken mainly during a punitive expedition in April 1923 to the Konyak village of Yungya, certain inhabitants of which had carried out a head-hunting raid on Kamahu. J.P. Mills was Assistant Commissioner, Mokokchung at this time. He accompanied J.H. Hutton, Deputy Commissioner, Kohima, who was his superior and therefore wrote the official Tour Diary for the expedition. The Konyak tribe lived in the northern part of the Naga Hills. To the west the Konyaks bordered the Assam plains and the Ao Nagas; on the south-east were the Phoms, and on the east the Singphos of Burma. At the time of these photographs much of their country was unadministered and little known and some of the villages visited during this expedition had never before been seen by Europeans.

520 3    |a This ritual, and the occasions on which it is performed is described in great detail in J.P. Mills' The Lotha (Lhota) Nagas. Briefly, it involves the sacrifice of a cockerel which is then set up at the foot of a post which has been cut and brought in from the jungle. At a signal from the "puthi" or village priest, all the warriors, shouting war cries, throw bamboo spears at the opya post. In this picture there are two posts, both bristling with spears.
