| Summary: |
This young man has adopted modern dress and hair style : He is probably Apatani, Nyishi or Hill Miri : If he is Apatani, then conspicuous by its absence is a tattoo mark on the chin, which his father would have had : Such tattoos were banned by the Apatani Student Association only a few years before this photograph was taken : However, because they were made on the chin at a young age, this man would still be wearing one. |
