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 Mithuns (bos frontalis) were the main currency in the traditional economy of the region. A source of meat, they continue to be sacrificed during large rituals. Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf came upon this scene as he approached the Apatani valley. Having left Assam on 6 March he and his party climbed for a week until they reached the Pare River (also known as, Pare River (also known as, Perre River), progressed 18 kilometres, climbed to a high peak known as Lai and reached the Pangen River, where they camped on 13 March. With food running low, Fürer-Haimendorf sent two of his three Apatani guides ahead to the Apatani valley, and they returned with thirty men carrying rice for the Nyishi porters. The next day, 14 March, the party went another 16 kilometres, entered the Apatani valley and camped near Hong village. The trek from Assam had taken nine days.
