Scope and Content

B&W photographic print. 'Hutton and Shakespear (probably) with a dog and a group of soldiers and Chang Coolies. The Coolies searched the jungle around the village, finding pigs hidden in holes underground, so placed that they could not root their way out, and paddy buried in earthenware pots. 30 or 40 old skull trophies were also found hidden, probably mainly heads from Kamahu, though one fairly recent one was pointed out as having come from Mongnyu.'

Yungya is also known as Aopao or Ao Pao and resides in the Champang H.Q. of the Mon District, Nagaland, India.

Ethnicity: Europeans

Coolie is the photographer's term. When originally applied, the term 'coolie' was widely used to describe to anyone of Asia ethnicity. It is thought to have originate from terms in Gujarati, Tamil and Turkish roughly meaning labourer or slave. The term has since come to be used as a racial slur.
