Notes
- Abstract:
- Obscured by cane leaves is a small hut used by Apatanis for rituals, especially during the month-long Myoko festival : It is built of hardwood and bamboo : Each of the nine Apatani villages has one or two huts, which are owned by a cluster of clans in that village : On the third day of the Myoko festival, a procession of men and boys bring clusters of cane leaves and wait outside the hut : Inside, two shamans chant and wait for another leaf, placed in a monkey's skull, to move mysteriously in the airless space : When it does move, the shamans shout, and everyone outside joins in, thrusting their leaves into the roof of the hut : that is what we see here : the enclosure with stones, in front, prevents dangerous spirits from entering the hut : On the house porches in the background we see stacks of newly cut firewood, also to be used in the festival.

- 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.
