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 Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf and his party crossed the Kamla River many times : this crossing at a point below Chemir Tapo, took place on 13 March 1945 : the bamboo rafts were built by local people while Fürer-Haimendorf stayed in their village : they are guided by strong cane ropes two for each raft, one to the bow and one to the stern, that spanned the river and were fixed on the banks : Pulling on these ropes, hand over hand, a few men guide the rafts across : Here, in the foreground, we can see men pulling one raft, while another is further ahead : In a month's time, by mid-April, the current in this fast-running river would have been too strong to attempt a crossing at this point : a suspension bridge had once spanned the river here, but it had been cut down to prevent raids. 
500 |a The Kamla River is also known as the Sipi River. 
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.
