LOCATION. The Chimbu Tribe (or Simbu) of Papua New Guinea whose Province is located in its central Highlands. The term “Chimbu” was given to the people by the first Australian explorers in 1934 who heard the word “simbu” (an expression of a pleasant surprise in Kuman language) exclaimed by the locals when they first met. One of the things that set the Chimbu tribe apart from others is their skeleton dance which originated to intimidate enemy tribes in what is a hotly-contested and highly-territorial country. It also expected that the enemy tend to believe they are not human and have some source of supernatural power
