Description
Content description from Worldcat (https://www.worldcat.org/title/mursi-disappearing-world/oclc/865199367):
The Mursi are a tribe living in southwestern Ethiopia, along the Omo River. They are constantly at war about grazing rights with a neighboring tribe, the Bodi - and the most interesting feature of their way of life is the open public debate through which they settle their most important problems, including that of the war. As we learn from the filmmakers, They never shout each other down, never interrupt, always allow every man to have his say - [there is] no chairman, no vote.
Ephemera: Available through the CCDR Collections at Arizona State University. One photocopied article; three small clippings from various sources related to program. Handwritten on folder: Decision making on social relations, espec. war tribe in Ethiopia (carry guns left by Italians 30 years ago).
