Notes
- Abstract:
- Each year Apatanis celebrate the Myoko festival (late March to mid-April), in which a pig sacrifice is the main event : In the village or set of villages, that is playing host that year, each clan sets up a special altar on the left, of bamboo poles and shavings near a tree : Each family in the clan then brings a specially reared pig to the altar where it is decorated with rice powder and rice beer : after a shaman chants over each animal as we see here, a few are killed on the spot, but most are taken home to be cut up : the blood from the Myoko pig is later mixed with rice and served in a feast : Only when a new bride eats that meal is she considered formally part of her husband's clan : the shaman seen here wears a special shawl, large hoop earrings and a textile headdress, and he carries a bow, which he points toward the pig : He stands on a special piece of wood : Very little of what we see in this photograph would differ from what we see today.

- 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.
