Hill Miri houses, with crowds on porches

This photograph was probably taken in Bua or another Hill Miri settlement in the Kamla River valley : as we can see, these longhouses have porches, which extend the work and social space of the structure and enable people to warm themselves in the sun : as Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf also noted...

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 Ethonlogue considers the Hill Miri to be part of the Mising (people) while other sources group the Hill Miri with the Nyishi. The Hill Miri are differentiated by their unique language, Sarak-miri or Hill-miri, from both Mising and Hill Miri.

520 3 |a This photograph was probably taken in Bua or another Hill Miri settlement in the Kamla River valley : as we can see, these longhouses have porches, which extend the work and social space of the structure and enable people to warm themselves in the sun : as Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf also noted in his diary, Bua is built on a very steep slope, probably because no flatter ground was available near the only water source in the area : the landscape also forces people here to build smaller houses than they would on more level ground.
