| 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. | ||

| 520 | 3 | |a The man in the left foreground is one of many Apatanis who have gathered in the Nyishi settlement of Talo to resolve a long-standing dispute between Nyishis and Apatanis. Having made the four-walk from the Apatani valley to Talo, he is now placing a piece of bamboo against a long piece of wood, which was a traditional method of enumerating grievances against enemies. Other pieces are inserted vertically into the ground beside the long piece. Seated behind him are mostly Apatanis (a few Nyishis sit and stand to the right). Among the Apatanis, in the centre, smoking a pipe, wrapped in a shawl and looking down, is Padi Lalyang, a rich and influential man of Reru village. Christoph von Furer-Haimendorf, who came here to oversee the negotiations, was only able to witness long speeches: 'The Daflas [Nyishis] seem to love arguing, and with men of so many villages assembled, there are everywhere mel [negotiations] and councils, with larger and smaller groups gathered around a claimant placing stick after stick on the ground and explaining in an endless flow of words exactly how many mithan, maje [bell], cloths and dao [machete] his opponent owes him. Usually the defendant waits quietly and when the accuser has at last finished, takes up tally sticks himself and proves not less eloquently that all the claims put forward are more than outweighed by outstanding claims from his father's or grandfather's time against the family of the claimant.' These negotiations between Nyishis and Apatanis seemed close to resolution when the Apatanis reduced their demands by three quarters, asking for the return only of bells and brass plates recently paid as ransom, as well as 36 mithuns. The Nyishis agreed but offered only 17 mithuns, and the ten days of talk ended in stalemate. | |
