In the US, for reasons few probably know, we often should Geronimo! when jumping for any significant height. Geronimo was the name of a relatively famous (though for what, I don't know) Native American in the 1800's. Likewise, Pocahontas was a famous Native American woman who served as a guide for the Lewis & Clark expedition to map the American northwest in the early 1800's. The other two words in the meme are actually names of Native American tribes, not individuals, so it breaks down a little there, but there's still a connection.
Doesn't quite work for me. Two of those are names of individual native americans and the other 2 are names of NA tribes. It really should be all individual names, but there probably aren't enough native americans that are widely enough known to pull this off. Geronimo, Crazy Horse, ???, Pocahontas.
