- Abstract:
- Mithuns (bos frontalis) were the main currency in the traditional economy of the region. A source of meat, they continue to be sacrificed during large rituals. Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf came upon the scene as he approached the Apatani valley. Having left Assam on 6 March he and his party climbed for a week until they reached the Pare River (also known as, Pare River (also known as, Perre River), progressed 18 kilometres, climbed to a high peak known as Lai and reached the Pangen River, where they camped on 13 March. With food running low, Fürer-Haimendorf sent two of his three Apatani guides ahead to the Apatani valley, and they returned with thirty men carrying rice for the Nyishi porters. The next day, 14 March, the party went another 16 kilometres, entered the Apatani valley and camped near Hong village. The trek from Assam had taken nine days. ( en )
