500        |a This image is part of album T. This album and the following one both refer to the time between 1927 and 1928 when Mills was posted as Acting Deputy Commissioner to Cachar, in the southern part of Assam. The adminsitrative headquarters was at Silchar in the plains, but the area which particularly concerned Mills was the hill country of North Cachar. This was regarded as the Cinderella of Subdivisions, to which officers were often sent temporarily while waiting for a better posting. They usually had no experience of working with hill tribes and were not interested in learning about their customs and history. Mills, with his vast experience of the hill tribes was asked to sort out the resultant mess, and took it as golden opportunity to study and photograph the people and their way of life. The album also contains a few photographs from other areas.

520 3    |a Offering to the dead: To celebrate the New Year and the final departure of the spirits of the dead, a tall pole is set up out side the Deka Chang (bachelor's dormitory). From its four crosspieces hang hoops made of wood and sword beans, representing spindles, and small bows with cotton seeding rollers tied to them. N.B. This photograph is named "Hokai" but this may be incorrect, as the relevant description in the Tour Diary refers to Thangpui, visited on 1928 January 23.
