Group of Korku trackers, Satpura Range. Photographer: Mulheran, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Portrait of four trackers and a bearded European (possibly Mulheran), grouped around a bison's head palced on a smal table: 'The above is a group of four Korku tarckers of the Satpura range. They will follow the slightest track of the bison, somber, or bear, with astonishing readiness and certainty; and are seldom at fault, if the track they are following is crossed at intervals by the tracks of other animals. No Korku however will assist in cutting up a bison when killed, believing it to be the wild bull. The Korkus are of the same race as the Gonds, but differ from them regarding the propriety of eating beef. The head in the photograph is that of one of the bisons tracked by them.' For another copy of this photograph, see Photo 993(28).
