Notes
- Abstract:
- These schoolchildren are standing in front of 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 : a few of these boys there were girls also at this school, are children of Indian government officials posted to the valley or of Indian shopkeepers who chose to do business there : Most, however, are Apatanis, many of whom wear the traditional male jacket, with a black-and-white diamond design but with an interesting, new emblem: the tall pole erected during the Myoko festival, celebrated each March : One of those poles is just visible on the far left : Some of the Apatanis boys also wear their hair in the traditional style knot with skewer, and have the traditional chin tattoo : a few boys may be Nyishis and Hill Miris, or other tribal children, 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.
