- General Note:
- Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf (1909-1995) was born and educated in Vienna, gaining a PhD in anthropology from the University of Vienna in 1931. A grant from the Rockefeller Foundation enabled him to study at the London School of Economics, under the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski. In 1936, he went to the Naga Hills in northeast India for his first fieldwork; over the next four decades, he worked extensively in south & central India, northeast India and Nepal. In 1950 he was appointed Professor of Anthropology at SOAS, where he established the Department of Anthropology. During his career, he published seventeen books, most of them ethnographies of tribal cultures. He was President of the Royal Anthropological Institute (1975-77) and a pioneer in the field of visual anthropology.

- This Nyishi longhouse probably belongs to Tabia Nieri, the headman of Potin village : On his trip from Assam to the Apatani valley, Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf camped at Potin for several days, during which he gave Tabia Nieri the red cloth of a headman a custom imported from plains India, : Most Nyishi houses are built with hardwood posts and posts, and bamboo floors, walls and roofs : Nyishi houses vary in length from about 15 to 25 metres; most are approximately 6 to 8 metres wide : they typically contain several hearths, one for each family or each wife in a polygynous marriage : Front and back porches increase the area in which people can work or relax during dry or warm weather : In this photograph, a bamboo ritual structure stands to the right of the porch, the remains of an important ceremony.
