| 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 These Apatani men, armed and dressed for war, were part of an punitive expedition, including Assam Rifles, led against Nyishis by Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf and Capt : Davy in December 1944 : the standing man carries a spear and wears shoulder armour of blackened fibres of the sago palm : they are looking at a Nyishi settlement in the Kiyi River valley, probably either Tabia, Bagi or Kirum, all of which were burned during the campaign : these Nyishis, of the Licha clan, had for years waged war against Apatanis and other nearby Nyishis, taking hostages, stealing mithuns and occasionally murdering someone : the British colonial government was determined to break the stranglehold that this Nyishi clan held over the area, in order to promote civil administration and enable further exploration north, toward the McMahon Line : When the punitive party arrived in the area of Licha, Fürer-Haimendorf and Davy ordered the release of two recently captured Apatanis, a demand that ensured the support of the Apatanis in the party : Negotiations were held, villages evacuated, promises made, ultimatums issued and then ignored : In the end, houses and granaries thought to belong to those most responsible for the Nyishis' intractability, were burned in Tabia, Bagi and Kirum in the Kiyi River valley : Several weeks later, this generations-old conflict was settled, temporarily, by the traditional method of dispute resolution, involving long speeches and bamboo pieces as counters. | ||
