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

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

King and many others who live in the mountain’s shadow say most Alaskans will never stop calling the peak Denali, its Alaska Native name, despite President Donald Trump’s executive order that the name revert to Mount McKinley -- an identifier inspired by President William McKinley, who was from Ohio and never set foot in Alaska.

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.

Usually, renaming a place starts locally. The people in the state or county propose a name change and gather support. The process in each state is different.
