DESCRIPTION
The Mursi live a traditional life in the African bush in southern Ethiopia. Popular with photographers and tourists because of their lip plates and patterned skins, their lives are in transition and their simple pastoralist economy is giving way to a dependency on tourism and money. Behind this, they are a wonderful people who hold one of the true gems of African Architecture which may give clues as to how people built temporary shelters many thousands of years ago. We managed to spend two weeks in their community recording a hut being built and catching some other moments of their lives immersed in the beautiful yet sometimes harsh world of nature.
The huts are built from long branches taken fresh from a number of different shrubs found throughout the southern Omo region. These are bent to form a series of radial ribs which are reinforced with smaller curved arches, threaded with branched twigs and covered with a thick layer of thatch. Everything is held in place using an outer structure of split branches and bark rope.
This was filmed in 2013, and has only taken us seven years to finally produce an edited version.

Wow..I grew up in Ethiopia..and only a short distance from this tribe....and am so glad to have done so with no tourists to influence them.
They will never be the same again after all the tampering and outside spectacle being created.
I do so appreciate this video of the more authentic lives of the Mursi...and no foreign spectators.
These women are amazing. Especially the mothers , who Not only build their shelter and teach their children to assist, all the while carrying an infant child on their back. I could hardly get my kids to clean their own room
Hats off to the entire crew 🎩
Thank you for a wonderful video.
I'm in Kwa Zulu. We have same huts like Ethiopian. I feel Africa ❤️❤️❤️

more More MORE!! I love your work and channel. Amazing content.
So glad to see you're back : ) this will benefit generations to come
Thanks, Kenya, Russia and Indonesia may happen in 2022 with a bit of luck.
Thank you for this amazing video!
Excellent upload. You have an amazing channel.
I've thought about this amazing film all day and have to say this: These people remain substantially self-sufficient. They have little use for currency. Although the photographers are clearly, and wrongly, exploiting them instead pf documenting their culture, to pay them more would only undermine their values faster. Sadly, thats the fate of most of the worlds people. Thank you for raising the bar.

amazing video, thanks for sharing!
I just found this channel, thanks for bringing this to us, it’s an amazing work!
Wow. Finally new release on this amazing channel .
Better late than never. Hopefully Chukotka in the spring!
@@NomadArchitecture 👍
Been waiting months for a new video, nice to see a new one
Whole heartedly agree on this comment
Thanks, there has been a bit of a pandemic on, which has made this all difficult, but we have a lot in preparation for 2022 all being well.
Hi
@@NomadArchitecture good luck and good health!
@@anowarali2444 👋🏼
Thank you for another fascinating video 💜💜💜
Came across this video which someone posted underneath a photo on Facebook. Wonderful job of telling the short story of how this tribe lives. To answer the question in the video, No, I don't think tourists should be able to just go to the area the tribe is in without prior permission. I also think that five cents is ridiculously low, they deserve much much more or better things like medical care. Thank you for making these videos.
You will pleased to know that one of the younger girls in this video (filmed in 2013) has now trained as a doctor!
@@NomadArchitecture That is amazing news! They are fortunate to have her. ❤
Very beautiful video -(except the horn cutting ); and the narration ? Most beautiful , soft and in tune with the views .....
I looooove this channel!! From Nenet to Mursi. I am gaining such insight. This is phenomenal
Quality content 👍👍

In my humble opinion what you are doing is documenting differing lifestyles which may in the very near future become extinct ... I believe that to be a good thing.
What the Englishmen are doing is exploitation. With that being said, the natives do not seem to mind. So, who's to say one way or the other.
Thank you for the new video and I hope you are all doing well.
Thanks, if the Englishmen had just brought some bags of meal and sugar it would maybe have been better.
@@NomadArchitecture I agree with you ... but I'm not an Englishman who historically puts themselves above all other humans on the planet. If they haven't changed their ways by now, I don't think they are going to.
@@anitamitchell3452 Sad but true.
@@thierrybilson9634 it’s not sad to see people moving out from 5,000 year old practices as normal life, if you think that is okay there is something wrong with your thinking.

I've been loving your work. I have been fortunate enough to visit the Mursi people and other Omo valley tribes, and I am passionate about photography. However, being there as a tourist it didn't feel right taking too many photos, I found much more value in observing and talking instead. It would even be worth insisting visitors to refrain from photography so that they can truly take in something so special that they are fortunate enough to experience. Filming and photography for educational purposes would always be welcome of course.
pipo stealing the know how while making money in the process..thats what I see

"for education"
An exception.
Exploitation begins somewhere.
This channel is awesome.
This is so awesome :) !
Ok. This is going to be an unpopular opinion... but please bear with me: My daughter and I live in Namibia. We have a similar nomadic tribe here (Himba, you've made a film about them before). In an ideal world, traditional tribes should be able to survive without modern "interference", so no photographs or money. However, times have changed. The milie flour you're talking about is very cheap but still needs to be purchased (as they're not farmers with fields), the photos create a source of income that still allows the family unit to stay together and continue their nomadic life style (I don't want to comment on the price of photos, obviously it's never fair). The only alternative would be to send people to work in the towns where traditional skills are not of value. That means they end up doing menial jobs (gardening and cleaning) for minimum wage which then is send partly home to support their families. The Himba here also do "photo shoots" in villages and towns, besides selling traditional carvings and baskets. Tourists love taking these photos, but always have to tip or pay.
Thank you for your great film and informative observations.
Not unpopular with me. As it happens, we are now supporting an initiative to create a Himba owned and run tourist camp where they will build traditional huts and fit out as lodges, (although we will probably build modern showers and a cafe). I have been trying to get back there to help them design and build it but corona has made this impossible. If you know anyone in Namibia you think would support this, either come and help build or else donate then it would be great to build a local group. I would love it if such things could come out of my videos.
@@NomadArchitecture Fantastic idea. Actually, I am originally a town planner and my best friend is an architect whose also getting into alternative building methods. My (only 11 year old) daughter is obsessed with primitive skills and especially how to build Himba huts (she's the reason we watch your videos, I also like it, don't get me wrong). I also know a lot of people in the tourism industry. But my first instinct is to say stay away from large established touring companies (they are all owned by namibian germans, who blatantly sabotage all competition, they have established monopolies here). Finding smaller companies run by (non-german) tour guides (especially of Himba origin) might be the way to go...btw before this comment is misunderstood: I myself am of German origin.

Great points in this comment.
HERMOSO DOCUMENTAL....FANTASTICO TRABAJO...FELICIDADES😃😃😃
Love the videos
What an incredibly inspiring video that touched my heart deeply! I want to express my gratitude for your generosity in sharing it. 🩷
I would love a video on the women's basket weaving and beadwork! This was a simply lovely documentary! Thank you!
We are trying to get more of the other crafts in our latest filmings - keep an eye out for the Korowai in West Papua where my daughter has been filming lots of things.
Thank you 💕
Very beautiful natural performance
Excelente.
thank you
How disgusting. 5 cents !?!? As a photographer that REALLY upset me. They should be helping build a well for water or something like that. Maybe buy them some cattle. Also, they KNOW darn well what they are doing is wrong, because they sent a guard over to stop you from documenting it. Couldn’t be more obvious.
Goo thought, actually we bought them a cow to thank them for building the hut. In some countries we set up or support local projects, but in the Omo region the government does not want this, so a cow it was.
@@NomadArchitecture livestock is currency to them so good on you !
lmao "english" tourists 100 yrs later be like: "wypipo did dis..."
@@NomadArchitecture the government is doing illegal activity, if it doesn’t allow the building of life needs. It’s clearly going to get in some trouble in the future

Another wonderful documentary for us to enjoy watching & learning from.
These humans are so hardworking & physically fit, so unique in their history, their heritage/culture & so much more.
It's truly wonderful to get a personal glimpse into their world & i personally feel honoured.
They possess such gorgeous body/bone structure, almost model/statuesque like. Lovely & lithe, tall & beautifully willowy, as they all walk around working hard.
They even look graceful carrying anything on their heads.
In response to the asked question......
I think we Westerner's are completely curious and fascinated by such humans/tribal groups, which is understandable, however, when i see the English photographers, or any external photographers arriving & in some ways, imposing/encroaching upon their personal space, i feel somewhat disappointed & even angry.
Why? Because i think of the poor & ill treatment of African's historically, specifically during colonization & slavery etc;. It's funny, but one could argue, that this sort of dominant treatment (albeit, no more colonization & slavery), @ the hands of some Westerner's still exists & is allowed to perpetuate & sometimes @ the detriment of the tribal people. At the very least, it would be better & more understandable, if a large percentage of the money made from the photos taken, was given directly to these tribal members, to both assist them financially & to empower them, but if they're not being paid enough, then personally, i see this as a form of human abuse & being taken advantage of, for the greater prosperity/empowerment of the visiting Westerner.
Also, i find it utterly disrespectful & even hypocritical, that the photographers didn't want the camera pointed @ them, yet, they turned up unannounced/without formal invite it appears, disturbing the privacy & peace of these beautiful people & treating them as though they're show ponies! As though their lives aren't already hard enough!
In this regard, it's just not right, or even fair.
Hypothetically speaking, i imagine if the tides were turned, there'd be major pushback, rebellion & negative issues abound. But of course in reality, these quiet, respectful & humble people, would never do such things & they most probably, wouldn't be allowed to anyway.
Nonetheless, as controversial to many as this may be, we must appreciate such documentaries, because you tube has certainly brought much more of this amazing world to us, hence we get the great privilege/opportunity, to learn more about humans & their respective cultures across our world.

euthopian people are beautiful.i love their smile.. they are strong and they have good body shape
Who is living the best way, this apartment dweller wonders on the other side of the only planet with life of any kind? Winter comes for me and millions of others and necessity shapes us as it does the Ethiopians. Good will to all you who live wherever you are.

Great people!!!!
Kanalınız çok güzel 🤗
I think what you guys are doing is good. It's important to preserve culture and tradition. You're there simply to learn. I think the photographers are exploiting them and that shouldn't be happening. Although to be fair it seems like the population has embraced them. I mean you see how they got ready for pictures.
Awesome video as always. Would it be the case that the photographer would pay the guards or may e even the government more for the photos and 5 cents is what trickles down to the people or is that what the photographer actually pays them?
So they will pay a guide who will have organised the tour. They pick a guard up on the road into the area, actually he is watching the tourists too - i.e. the government does not want them going off track for various reasons I will not go into here. But the villagers themselves get the 5c. The guide is often from a big tour company and pays the locals nothing. There is a new system slowly coming in where a village fee is paid. This is the norm in neighbouring Kenya and possibly a bit fairer.
@@NomadArchitecture wow thanks for such a detailed response. Keep up all the good work. I always look forward to seeing your content.
🌍⭐BEAUTIFUL⭐🌍
How wonderful these people are. Kudos, please leave these folk alone
Photographers shouldn't be allowed to use them for making a huge profit. It's not unlike how indigenous people were treated hundreds of years ago.
They continue to be treated that way today almost everywhere.

Since the British have been doing what they want with indigenous peoples for centuries.

Good afternoon
2:00 all you need to know.
Whatever has happened to the Kwegu tribe. I have searched for videos current videos on TH-cam and nothing. My heart breaks for the beautiful Kwegu people.
I'm trying to figure out what they playing with in they hand
Awesome work. thank you Nomad architecture. what's the benefit of drinking fresh bloods?
I think it is full of nutrients and protein but being an architect I felt queasy enough filming it, let alone thinking about it too much!
@@NomadArchitecture thank you .
@Ro ya ~ No one is supposed to drink blood, for it is a Sin in the Sight of GOD The CREATOR [ELOHIM] In CHRIST JESUS [YAHSHUA HA'MASHIACH]. Please Do Not drink blood. And whether a person believes In The One True GOD, or not, ---- it does Not change GOD/ELOHIM's Truth, All-Knowing/All-Seeing Eyes & Mind, Sovereignty, Righteousness, Holiness, Power, Glory, Majesty, and Commands. Amen.
⚠️Do Not literally drink blood, no matter what culture it is. Do Not drink blood in liquid form, nor cooked form, nor even in Western civilization, where some eat there steaks, rare/medium rare, etc., in which blood is running out of the meat of their food. Do Not drink/eat blood.⚠️

Leviticus 17:12 (kjv)
[12] Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
Hebrews 10:10-13 (kjv)
[10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of The Body of Jesus Christ once for all. [11] And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: [12] But this Man [Jesus Christ], after He had offered One Sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on The Right Hand of God; [13] From henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool.
Hebrews 9:13-15 (kjv)
[13] For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: [14] How much more shall The Blood of Christ, who through The Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve The Living God? [15] And for this cause He is The Mediator of The New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under The First Testament, they which are called might receive The Promise of Eternal Inheritance.
Acts 15:20,29 (kjv)
[20] But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. [29] That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
So many questions. How puzzling life has remained the same for so long.
How great that its remained the same for so long 😀 my idea of what a truly advanced society should be, really. I'm highly sceptical about the wheel, really, for me, thats were it all started to go wrong. 😉
Instead of charging 5c how about providing them with beneficial resources like solar panels, water filters, hygiene, kids supplies, livestock, tools and etc. Westerners who profit off of such things like 5c should be banned from Africa
The guy with the AK-47 at 5:12
someone needs to teach this tribe to start charging way more than 5 cents. shame on those photographers for exploiting their innocence.
What use would cash money be?
@@leadbelly1495 they use it to purchase clothes and tools Ive heard.
@@Royak These tribes should have been gone from living this type of life style hundreds of years ago
@@Hi-xu9xn are you saying they are uncivilised?
I do wonder why they chose to live this way, if there is an option of living the urban city life.
@@Hi-xu9xn compared to the current medical tyranny (no mask no job, no jab no job=no services) going on worldwide, I would rather choose this simple lifestyle than live in a cosmopolitan city in this so-called Circus 19 era. Notice there is a lot I omitted from my comment due to TH-cam censorship for any speech contrary to the Circus-19 narrative!!!!!
No body should allowed to intrude in their lives except to resolve food , water crisis and medical help.
This is my country
Beautiful!
Вот что здесь "прекрасного"??!
I am curious to know where the iodine in their diet comes from. Very interesting diet. Lots of vitamin A in blood and milk.
You may have noticed there are no ads on this video. That's because we have a new sponsor. Here's an ad for our new sponsor! 🤣 I'm dead.
If you can find me a sponsor who will give without a shoutout then send them my way!
@@NomadArchitecture I agree. Everyone would love one of those... I think we call them unicorns. Don't let people get to you. You're doing a great job.
Leave them alone! 🤬
The people don't seem to mind the camera men and tourists but I don't think 5 cents is enough since the photos will generate much more. Considering how the people live I think bolts of cloth, new tools, pots and pans etc., would be a much better deal. If the people minded the photographs it would be a different story, then I would say no photos. But as it is I think fair payment would be better and probably appreciated more than a nickle. The way it is now the people are simply being exploited.
Means wow how they can live in such arid area
Africa is always been bride for the preditter. They can do whatever they want, until we become strong enough to stop them and say no.💪💪💪💪💪🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴Love Africa love freedom ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️African.💋💋💋💋💋African💪💪👍💪.
