Notes

Abstract:
This group of Apatanis have paused to pose for this photograph : they have been busy repairing the bunds in the paddy fields in the Apatani valley : With the long feasts of Murung (Feast of Merit) completed by early February, this kind of work begins in earnest, in preparation for the transplanting of nursery bed seedlings in a few weeks : the wooden-handled and metal-tipped hoes seen here were valuable items, bought mostly in the plains of Assam.

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.
