Notes
- Abstract:
- In late November 1944, Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf returned briefly to Assam in order to fly on a reconnaissance mission over the Subansiri region : Reaching the aerodrome at Lilabari or Likabari, near North Lakhimpur, in the morning, he flew in a two passenger plane, presumably arranged by the British Government of India, high over the area that he was planning to visit in the next few weeks as part of a punitive expedition against Nyishi clans : these Nyishis had been carrying out raids, seizing captives and stealing mithuns not only from Apatanis but also other Nyishis in the area : this photograph shows the Subansiri River as it meanders into the plains and joins the Brahmaputra River.

- 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.
