Shakespeare once asked, “What’s in a name? Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet?” And in the case of Denali, would a mountain by another name be as magnificent?
The vote came a week after Trump on his first day in office signed an executive order calling for the name to revert to Mount McKinley.
Alaskans are responding after President Donald Trump changed the name of North America's tallest peak from Denali back to Mount McKinley.
Historically, human habitation inside the Denali region is over 11,000 years old. Athabaskan people’s presence in the region dates back roughly 1,800 years while principal groups in the park area in the last 500 years include the Koyukon, Tanana and Dena’ina people.
Google says it has a longstanding practice of applying name changes when they have been updated in official government sources.
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.
One of President Donald Trump’s first executive actions upon reentering the White House was to reestablish its most famous mountain as McKinley’s namesake.
This comes after President Trump signed an executive order on Inauguration Day that ordered the name Mt. McKinley be reinstated and the Gulf of Mexico be renamed.
One of the first things President Trump did after taking office was announce plans to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.
