| 500 | |a This image is part of Album B containing images taken mainly 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 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 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. | ||

| 520 | 3 | |a The column was travelling from Yunghong to Angpang. Hutton describes this as "a rather ticklish march, as the two villages are very much at war and Yunghong had the greatest reluctance to meeting Anpang and vice versa, and neither could carry on the land of the other, or have the other village on their land. Eventually we got Yunghong - with some difficulty - as far as the place where Angpang were waiting, there let them put [down] their loads and go, after which Angpang came out and picked them up". Interestingly, in chapter 14 of The Nagas, by Julian Jacobs, page 156, headed "Naga Nationalism" this photograph is captioned "Men squatting in the long grass and objecting to the passage of a column, Yunghong village". These men look scared, not warlike, and are not armed. | |
