These women standing on a porch in an Apatani village are not themselves Apatanis : their lack of facial tattoos and nose plugs, their clothing and earrings, plus the headband, pipe and goitre of the woman in the centre indicate that they are Hill Miris or Nyishis, : apatanis entered into ceremonial friendships with these tribes, which meant that they might visit the valley on special occasions, such as Myoko, the festival that was being celebrated when this photograph was taken. |
