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:
Only half an hour after the first halt in the forest, the group reaches a rest-house in the forest where they meet Thevoni's divorced wife and other people from Thevoni's village Thenizumi that came to greet J.P. Mills : the meeting point is at the place where the path to Thenizumi goes off : the house has a elaborately carved front, showing stylised mithun-horns and other ornaments declaring the feast giver status of the house owner : the front post shows a row of carved female breasts, another post a peculiar zigzag pattern that also underlines the high status of the house owner : the two Europeans are accompanied by Thevoni, the head-interpreter for the Eastern Angami, three other Angami, servants, two sepois for the three ponies and eight carriers : the eight carriers are also Eastern Angami that use the chance to earn some money on their way home 8 annas per day, : the ponies cost one rupee per day.
