When the men traveled back to Dirka, they had a meeting to discuss relocating. Eventually, they migrated to the Omo and join the Berneshe and Bongo clans. The Mursi tribe gave the Berneshe and Bongo clans an ultimatum: to become Mursi or leave. I found this story to be rather interesting since it reveals that the Mursi tribe is made up of several different clans. Moreover, since the Mursi tribe is made up of different clans, they may have become more diverse than they already were. As a result, the tribe may even contain more traditions than other groups. One of the several traditions of the Mursi that separates them from the rest of the lower Omo Valley tribes is their lip-plate. The Mursi are most prominent for their unforgettable lip-plates that are plastered all over travel and culture magazines. When a girl reaches about fifteen or sixteen, her mother cuts her lower lip. Wooden plug is inserted to hold open the cut. Turton learned that it is up to each girl how large they want to stretch their lip by gradually inserting larger plugs over the following months. There are about three main misinterpretations about the significance of the lip-plates. First, some anthropologists and journalists believe the plate size correlates with the girl's bridewealth.The misconception was proven wrong by Turton's fieldwork. He noted that the girls have arranged marriages and most of the time the bridewealth had already been agreed upon before their lips have even been cut. Second, the lip-plate is also misunderstood by believing that the Mursi forced their women to stretch their lips to look undesirable for slave traders. Third, many seem to believe that the lip-plate is a symbol of adulthood. All these misinterpretations may have some truth to them, but it is not known for sure. When Turton asked a Mursi woman why she stretched her lip, she simply replied, "It is our custom"" (Turton 2004: 4). Although their reasoning is not known, the Mursi reveal that the lip-plates are a strong "marking of territory" " for the tribe.
