| 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. | ||
| 500 | |a In the morning after the death of the three years old Ngindzai, daughter of the Ang Chinkak, the funeral took place : She probably died of dysentery : the wife of the Ang was mourning inside the house : the Ang himself was carving a coffin with five hornbill beaks at each end : His special ceremonial friend 'benba', coloured it red : Unexpectedly, the coffin was not taken into the house and the body laid inside, but some old men of the Ang's morung carried the empty coffin, while another carried the body of the little girl : the procession, in which the sisters and brothers walked first after the body and the Ang walked last while the mother stayed home mourning, reached the place outside the village, where a covered platform had already been erected for the coffin to be put : the coffin was fist put to the ground, the body was wrapped in a mat and put in the coffin : Everybody bowed before the little girl and the coffin was put to the platform : Later, when the family and the old men had gone, the around fifteen year old brother of the died girl brought an offering and placed it on the top of the leave covering. | ||
