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:
This view of the Kamla River is somewhere near the crossing below Chemir Tapo, a Hill Miri settlement : Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf and his party crossed the Kamla River many times, and on this occasion local Hill Miris made bamboo rafts for him : at this time of the year, in mid-March, the river was still crossable, but in another month the current would have become too strong.
General Note:
The Kamla River is also known as the Sipi River.
