Book Description

About the Book The Lhota Nagas" by J.P. Mills, with an introduction and supplementary material by J.H. Hutton, is a comprehensive ethnographic study of the Lhota Naga tribe in northeastern India. Published in 1922, the work details the social structure, customs, and traditions of the Lhota Nagas, based on Mills' extensive fieldwork. Hutton's contributions provide additional context and comparative insights, enhancing the book's value. This monograph is considered a seminal work in Naga ethnography and remains a crucial reference for scholars studying the region and its indigenous cultures.

About the Author-1 James Philip Mills was a British Indian Civil Service officer and ethnographer. Educated at Windlesham House, Winchester College, and Corpus Christi College, Oxford, he joined the Indian Civil Service in 1913, serving primarily in Assam and the Naga Hills. He published significant works on the Nagas and served as Honorary Director of Ethnography for Assam. About the Author-2 J.H. Hutton was a British anthropologist and Indian Civil Service officer, known for his work in the Naga Hills of Assam. He contributed significantly to ethnography and served as the Census Commissioner for India in the 1930s.

Preface I HAVE attempted in this monograph to give some account of the Lhota Nagas, a tribe whose dour attitude towards inquirers has caused them to be somewhat neglected in the past. Boasting no great knowledge of anthropology, I have avoided theories and confined myself to facts. During some three years' residence at Mokokchung as Assistant Com-missioner I have had considerable opportunity of becoming acquainted with the habits and customs of this tribe, many individual members of which are now my personal friends. The generosity of the Assam Government has made the publication of this monograph possible, and my thanks are due to my many friends who have assisted me in the preparation of it. But for the encouragement and advice of Mr. J. H. Hutton, Deputy Commissioner of the Naga Hills and Director of Ethnography in Assam, it would probably never have been written. He has helped me throughout in every possible way, and has contributed a most valuable introduction and notes. I am further in-debted to Mr. Hutton for six photographs and a drawing, while for two other photographs my thanks are due to Mr. S. G. Butler. I have further to thank Miss A. M. Grace of Hove for the coloured frontispiece and Miss E. M. Paterson for the drawing of the median bands of the two types of rükhusil. Lt. Col. J. Shakespear has been kind enough to do the index for me.
