Description
The Simbu: Keepers of Tradition
Hidden among the towering peaks of Papua New Guinea, the Simbu are a people of warriors, farmers, and guardians of an ancient traditionone that binds the earthly world to the realm of spirits. Their name originates from the exclamation Simbu!a cry of awe from early explorers who first encountered this proud tribe in the Highlands.
For centuries, the Simbu have lived in harmony with the mountains, cultivating the land with expertise and defending their villages through intricate tribal alliances. Sacred rituals mark every stage of their existence, from the harvest to the journey into the afterlife.
One of their most striking traditions is the Dancing Skeletonsa ritual where warriors paint their bodies to resemble skeletal spirits. This practice served not only to intimidate enemies but also as a powerful symbol of the connection between the living and their ancestors, a bridge between the visible and the unseen.
The past never fadesit dances among the living, engraved in the bones of tradition.
