Yokwa rest house, S. Chin Hills, '95, 1895
Scope and Contents
152 x 112 mm. A view looking down on the rest house, a corrugated iron hut with thatched roof, with valleys and hills beyond. With porters and pack mules on the path in the foreground. The Chin village of Yokwa lies about 30 miles south-east of Haka, and was reached by the Kan-Haka mule track:
'Yokwa is the chief village of the tribe and was once strongly fortified, but the stockades are now in ruins. Water is plentiful and there is good camping-ground just below the village on the north-east ... The Yokwas feebly resisted the approach of the Chin-Lushai expedition' (Scott 1901, part II, vol. II, p.413).
