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:
Rice fields around Sagazumi are partly flooded : a complex system of water channels and bamboo pipes leads the water from the source into the fields : the image shows on the right side a bamboo aqueduct forming a bridge over another irrigated field : Irrigation is done by a system of channels which carry water distant sources, sometimes miles away : the water flows from one field into the other, the terraces being so carefully graduated that one source can be used to irrigate a large number of fields : as water is a valuable good, the right to use a source for irrigation is attributed to the person that first dug a channel from it : the ownership of wet terrace-fields is not communal but strictly private.
General Note:
Sagazumi is also spelled Zogazumi.
General Note:
Per the map of the Digital Himalaya (cf, http://himalaya.socanth.cam.ac.uk/collections/naga/record/r2836.html), Sagazumi is in the vicinity of Sathazum. The longitude and latitude provided in this record is for Sagazumi. The exact location of Sathazum cannot be fixed. It should be noted that the Digital Himalaya map is imprecise. Its location of Sagazumi is in the approximate location of Sathazum on georectified maps.
