500 |a Coolie is the photographer's term. When originally applied, the term 'coolie' was widely used to describe to anyone of Asia ethnicity. It is thought to have originate from terms in Gujarati, Tamil and Turkish roughly meaning labourer or slave. The term has since come to be used as a racial slur.

500 |a The Konyak tribe lived in the northern part of the Naga Hills. To the west the Konyaks bordered the Assam plains and the Ao Nagas; on the south-east were the Phoms, and on the east the Singphos of Burma. At the time of these photographs much of their country was unadministered and little known and some of the villages visited during this expedition had never before been seen by Europeans. 
500 |a Yungya is also known as Aopao or Ao Pao and resides in the Champang H.Q. of the Mon District, Nagaland, India.

500 |a The album in which this image was originally collected mainly contains photographs taken during a punitive expedition in April 1923 to the Konyak village of Yungya, certain inhabitants of which had carried out a head-hunting raid on Kamahu. J.P. Mills was Assistant Commissioner, Mokokchung at this time. He accompanied J.H. Hutton, Deputy Commissioner, Kohima, who was his superior and therefore wrote the official Tour Diary for the expedition. The military escort of Gurkhas was commanded by Captain W.B.S. Shakespear.

The Coolies searched the jungle around the village, finding pigs hidden in holes underground, so placed that they could not root their way out, and paddy buried in earthenware pots. 30 or 40 old skull trophies were also found hidden, probably mainly heads from Kamahu, though one fairly recent one was pointed out as having come from Mongnyu.
