|a 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. |

|a This is Guch Tamar, a leading man of Chemir (Tapo) village in the lower Kamla River valley. On his head he wears the stack of leaves, secured with a long rod, which was typical in this area. His wooden discs in the ear lobe, necklace, machete and animal-skin bag were also common features of male dress in the area. It is the beautiful piece of goat hair on his arm that struck the photographer. In fact, when Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf showed his admiration of it, Guch Tamar took it off and gave it to him as a gift. Fürer-Haimendorf visited his village and house as part of his survey of the region, during which he attempted to resolve a long-running dispute between these Hill Miris and Apatanis (of Hari village). Before this, however, he was expected to make the annual government payment to the people in this and surrounding settlements. This payment, known as posa, was established during Ahom rule (13th-19th centuries) in order to prevent hill tribes from raiding villages in Assam. To his embarrassment, Fürer-Haimendorf found that he had neither the money nor the register required to make the payments to the right people. After a tense week, these arrived from the government office in the plains and he was able to make the payments. |

|a 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. |
