The Alaska House has voted to urge President Donald Trump to reverse course and retain the name of North America’s tallest peak as Denali

North America’s tallest peak is renamed Mt. McKinley, but many Alaskans favor a name that spans deep into history.

The House resolution, sponsored by Rep. Maxine Dibert, D-Fairbanks, says the name Denali is “deeply ingrained in the state’s culture and identity” and urges Trump to maintain Denali as the peak’s official name in federal databases.

Many Alaskans say they’ll never stop calling the mountain Denali. That name respects the Indigenous people who’ve lived in its shadows for thousands of years. But Ohioans think McKinley “was a great president.

The 47th president is wading back into a century-long dispute over the name we give to North America’s tallest mountain

The U.S. president's move last week to rename North America's tallest peak has introduced 'a jarring note' into Alaska affairs, says one academic.

Alaska House members passed a resolution Monday urging President Trump not to rename Mount Denali to Mount Mckinley. Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office that undid a 2015 order from former President Obama naming North America’s highest peak Mount Denali.

The state Senate is expected to quickly agree with the House's request to keep the name as Denali, which would send it to Washington, D.C.
