- 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.
- General Note:
- These longhouses, and granary behind the one of the right, are in Chemir Tapo, a Hill Miri settlement in the lower Kamla River valley : Sitting on a steep slope, its houses are high up on stilts : Otherwise, they are similar to other houses in the region : Unlike Apatani and most Nyishi houses, however, they lack porch railings : Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf noticed this difference one day when he saw a small child fall off a porch and die : He also commented on the spectacular views from this spot.
- General Note:
- The Kamla River is also known as the Sipi River.
- General Note:
- Ethonlogue considers the Hill Miri to be part of the Mising (people) while other sources group the Hill Miri with the Nyishi. The Hill Miri are differentiated by their unique language, Sarak-miri or Hill-miri, from both Mising and Hill Miri.
