Trump vows to revert name of Alaska’s highest peak from Denali back to Mount McKinley
President Donald Trump announced the name of Alaska’s highest peak — and North America’s tallest at over 20,000 feet — Denali, would be changed back to Mount McKinley. Trump was sworn in as the 47th president on Monday,
US’ highest mountain called Denali for thousands of years, and Mount McKinley for nearly a century
The Obama-era change followed decades of requests from Native Alaskan leaders for the mountain’s native name ‘Denali’, a Koyukon Athabaskan word meaning "the tall one," "the high one" or "the great one" to be restored.
