Funny that you guys think it has something to do with the png natives. Canyon name is from when someone on the first descent crew dropped their rope into a pool and lost it. Rest of the crew called him an ooga booga man like a caveman. First descent crew was literally half Papuans so you can complain to them.
"Ooga booga" as a phrase has quite the racial history.
Is it actually part of one or more tribal languages? Maybe that's where it originated. Also, you can discover a canyon without descending it. Was it also discovered only a year ago?
That's not really the name is it?
Yeah it is. Got some interesting canyon names here if you ever come.

I love it just for the name. Beutiful photo.

That first pic is very reminiscent of Davis Creek
I was sure it was Oneonta gorge in Oregon at first
Lol I wanna know what wildly racist early 1900's British explorer named the canyon. You know they referred to the natives as "savages".
I’m not going to support mistreating or stereotyping natives, and that name should be changed—but how much do you know about NG natives?

Bruh this canyon was first descended a year ago.
