- 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 Nyishi woman is preparing rice beer to be served to Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf during his visit to the house of Likha Horku, in the Nyishi settlement of Likha Nyishi settlements are often named after the resident clan, : Nyishis, like other tribes in the Subansiri region, make several varieties of 'rice beer', most of which are in fact a combination of rice and millet : after being harvested, millet grains are separated from the stalks and dried in the sun : then they are boiled, during which a large amount of uncooked rice is added the proportion of millet to rice determines the variety and taste of the beer, and then the mixture is left to cool on bamboo mats : the mixture is returned to the pot, in which a little corn flour and yeast are added, and left to ferment for a few days : Finally, hot water is poured over the fermented mixture, straining it through a leaf and into a vessel : this is what this woman is doing: pouring hot water from a pumpkin gourd onto the mixture in the leaf placed inside the bamboo basket sitting on the clay pot : the result is a mildly alcoholic drink, popular on both informal and ritual occasions, when it is also poured on ritual structures and animals.
