| 500 | |a 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. | ||

| 520 | 3 | |a This man is Chige Nyime, an Apatani shaman (nyibu). Here he is chanting to an unseen mithun before it is sacrificed. As Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf explained in his diary, this sacrifice was done in his honour: ‘…the priest began a long incantation, accentuating every phrase with a forward lunging movement of a long sword of Tibetan kind. He addressed the mithan and asked him not to grieve over his death; he would die for a good cause—to cement the friendship between the Apa Tanis and the government and thereby bring about the destruction of Licha... As the Apa Tanis are enemies of Licha, so should the mithan’s soul become an enemy of Licha and go there to trouble the people of Licha. The mithan should not complain about being sacrificed, for the gods had given the Apa Tanis mithan for slaughter. In such a vein, N[y]ime went on for a long time, always addressing the mithan.’ | |
