Notes
- Abstract:
- Apatanis live in nuclear families, narrow houses (approx. 12 x 4 metres) and compact villages in order to use every square metre of land for wet-rice agriculture. Porches, front and back, extend the living and working area, and provide a public viewing gallery, as well. These roofs with thatch on top of split and flattened bamboo were replaced by fully bamboo roofs (more fire-resistant and water-tight) in the 1970s. Since the 1990s, aluminium sheeting has been preferred. Another change is that houses are now only about 1 metre above ground, while in the 1940s they were higher. Wooden or concrete steps have been substituted for the flat wooden board leading to the front porch. In other essentials, however, Apatani houses today look like those seen in this photograph. The tall poles seen in the background are also still ubiquitous. These babo poles, cut from hardwood and approximately 15-20 metres, are erected on or near a ritual platform in the village playing host to other villages during the Myoko festival; smaller poles are also put up on balconies where a son has been born in the time since this villages last hosted a festival.

- 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.
