The Mursi tribe (sometimes called the Murzu tribe) are an African tribe from the isolated Debub Omo Zone in Southern Ethiopia near the border with Sudan. There are an estimated 10,000 people in the Mursi tribe and the Ethiopian government groups them together with the Suri and Me’en tribes and calls the collective group the Surma. However, the Mursi tribe reject the term Surma and refuse to identify themselves as Surma.
穆尔西族（有时也称为穆尔祖族）是来自埃塞俄比亚南部偏远的德布布-欧莫区，接壤苏丹的非洲部族。穆尔西族大约有1万人，埃塞俄比亚政府将他们与苏里族和梅恩族合并，统称为“Surma”。然而，穆尔西族拒绝使用“Surma”这一称谓，拒绝认同自己是Surma。

Unlike some other pastoralist African tribes, the Mursi are sedentary rather than nomadic. The language of the Mursi is in the Nilo-Saharan linguistic family rather than being in the Afro-Asiatic language family as is Amharic, the official Ethiopian language. Very few Mursi people speak Amharic and most are unable to read or write. Although a small percentage of the Mursi tribe are Christians, most still practice Animism, believing that plants, animals and some inanimate objects possess spirits. Mursi tribe girls and women wear lip plates in their lower lips similar to some Amazon tribes such as the Suya tribe from the Xingu River area in Brazil. However, in the Suya Amazon tribe it is the men that wear the lip plates, while with the Mursi African tribe, only the females wear the plates in their lips.
与其他一些游牧非洲部落不同，穆尔西人是定居型而非游牧。穆尔西语言属于尼罗-撒哈拉语系，而不是像埃塞俄比亚官方语言阿姆哈拉语那样属于阿非-西亚语系。很少有穆尔西人会说阿姆哈拉语，大多数人无法识字。尽管穆尔西族中有少数信基督教，但大多数仍信奉万物有灵，认为植物、动物以及某些无生命物体具有灵魂。穆尔西族的女孩与妇女在下唇佩戴唇板，类似于巴西希格河流域亚马孙地区的一些部落，如苏亚族。然而，在亚马孙的苏亚部落中由男性佩戴唇板，而穆尔西部族则是女性佩戴在下唇。

The Mursi girls pierce the bottom lips which are stretched so that a clay lip plate can be inserted. In addition, this African tribe removes the bottom teeth of the girls for esthetic enhancement. Currently the Mursi tribe is being displaced from their traditional lands that are in the Omo National Park. Ethiopian government officials have been actively evicting Mursi people from the Omo National Park without any compensation and burning down homes located within the boundaries of the park. The Mursi have a reputation for being one of the more aggressive African tribes and are famous for their stick fighting ceremony (“donga”) which is fought by the men of this naked African tribe. The winner of the “donga” will be able to select the girl of his choice to have relations with, even though she may marry someone else. Similar to the Hamer tribe, the Mursi tribe commonly drink a mixture of blood and milk as do other African tribes in the region.
穆尔西女孩会穿刺下唇，使其被拉伸以便插入陶土唇板。此外，这个非洲部落还会去除女孩的下牙以达到美观的效果。目前穆尔西族正被迫离开他们位于欧莫国家公园的传统土地。埃塞俄比亚政府官员持续将穆尔西人从欧莫国家公园驱逐，且未给予赔偿，甚至焚毁公园边界内的房屋。穆尔西人以较为强悍的声誉著称，是较为激进的非洲部族之一，因其“棍斗”仪式（donga）而闻名，该仪式由部族男性进行。胜者可自由选择心仪的女子发生关系，尽管她可能已与他人结婚。与哈默部落类似，穆尔西族也常饮用血奶混合物，与该地区其他非洲部落一样。
