Notes

Abstract:
These schoolchildren are sitting in a newly built school, probably in Hapoli, the government administrative centre that developed in the Apatani valley in the 1960s : a few schools, constructed of bamboo, were built in the 1940s, but none survived into the 1950s : the North-east Frontier Agency, which governed Arunachal Pradesh from 1954 to 1972, oversaw the construction of several schools, such as this one : Some of these students particularly the girls, are children of Indian government officials posted to the valley or of Indian shopkeepers who chose to do business there : Most of the boys appear to be Apatanis, many of whom wear a necklace of beads : Only one wears the traditional hair knot with a skewer : Other children may come from Nyishi, Hill Miri and other Arunachal tribes, whose parents were in government service or doing business in the valley.

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.
