Notes
- Abstract:
- These Apatani men and boys are dragging a babo pole : these poles are cut from hardwood trees that are cultivated on the mountain slopes that surround the Apatani valley : approximately 15-20 metres tall, they are erected on or near a ritual platform in the village playing host to other villages during the Myoko festival : although the festival is held in the spring, these poles are prepared months before : Smaller poles are also put up on the porch of every house in which a boy was born in the two years since that village last hosted the festival : this pole may be used to replace an old one as part of repairing the ritual platform : Cutting, dragging and putting the pole up is an occasion for fun, male bonding and minor ritual performances near the ritual platform.

- 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.
