Wait... I was in that part of Alaska in 1997, and all the locals were calling it Denali even back then. So what’s the hoopla all about?

I’m surprised he didn’t just order it re-named `Mt. Obama’.
Indians (”indigenous people”) not withstanding, change it back to what most Americans know it as: Mt. McKinley.

Yep. Official Alaska called it Denali since 1975 and locals always called it that. One of the first things a friend who moved to Alaska years told me he was surprised by when he settled in Alaska.

"Members of Congress representing Alaska have resisted a name change. They say the mountain was named Denali by the native Athabascan people 10,000 years ago.
What a crock of sh*t. No one knows what it was called 500 years ago, let alone 10,000 years ago.

Mount Everest is known in Nepali as Sagarmāthā and in Tibetan as Chomolungma.
When JFK was assassinated, Cape Canaveral was changed to Cape Kennedy. That did not go over well, and now it is known as the "Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral".
There are so many of obama's outrageous political stunts to undo, but this one is not the most pressing.
Our President Trump has more important things on his plate right now.
Just my opinion.

I truly wish this was our biggest problem. The name of a pile of rocks does not keep me up at night.

It is probably best to name something else McKinley.

“What a crock of sh*t. No one knows what it was called 500 years ago, let alone 10,000 years ago.”
Sure they do. It was referenced thousands of times in the written language spanning all across north and south america next to the instructions on how to build a wheel, calculate the circumference of a circle, and brew beer.

I doubt that will be on Trump’s priority list. It should be obvious he has prioritized a plan and is working the plan. Extraneous stuff is a no never mind.

Ditto.
It is their state, their mountain, let them decide.

It’s been known as McKinley for decades. Look at the Africans that have renamed countless roads, streets, flags, and other monuments, besides destroying 100s across the country. Also look at the naming of streets, schools, monuments by the thousands after a philandering, plagiarizing black preacher.
