Abstract:
This photograph shows Betty von Fürer-Haimendorf talking to two Indian men in Hapoli, the government administrative centre that was built in the Apatani valley in the 1960s : Betty and her husband, Christoph, spent two weeks in the valley in March 1962 : the two Apatani boys in the background are dressed in a modern school uniform, but both wear the traditional hair knot, tattoo on the chin and earrings : Only one, however, also has the traditional skewer in his hair : the two Indian men probably Assamese or Bengali, are most likely government officials, employed by the North-east Frontier Agency, which governed Arunachal Pradesh from 1954 to 1972 : they may be Research Officers since the building to the left is the office of the Research Officer and his staff : the building in the background is the octagonal museum designed by Verrier Elwin.

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.
