A Mursi girl from the Omo Valley, Ethiopia. The Mursi and other tribes of the Omo Valley practice flood-retreat cultivation, growing crops in the rich silt left along the river banks by the slowly receding waters. This way of life may become impossible with the completion of the Gibe III dam, which threatens to leave 100,000 tribal people hungry.
