- 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.

- This Monpa man is a novice monk in the famous monastery at Tawang, an important Monpa town not far from the border with Tibet and Bhutan : Nearly all monks and novices at the monastery are Monpas, mostly from Tawang : Boys aged between about six and twelve are admitted to the monastery for training and at age twenty-one may become fully-ordained monks : the monastery was founded in the late 17th century by the Fifth Dalai Lama, who helped to spread the Gelukpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism among Monpas : Located at about 3,000 metres above sea level, it is one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in South Asia : It continues to be a fully-functioning institution, with several hundred monks and novices : Monpa rituals and beliefs, however, also contain pre-Buddhist, animist elements.
