Opposition to President-elect Trump's renewed suggestion to change the name of Alaska's 20,310-foot mountain back to McKinley includes many Alaskans, including Indigenous people, and the state's two Republican senators.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's interest in renaming Denali, North America's highest peak, back to its original name, Mount McKinley. This interest stems from Trump's broader initiative to reverse changes made by previous administrations, particularly those by President Barack Obama, who had renamed the mountain Denali in 2015 to honor the indigenous Athabaskan name. The push to revert the name to Mount McKinley, which it was known as from 1896 until 2015, reflects Trump's ongoing efforts to undo what he perceives as politically motivated decisions by his predecessors. The name change to Denali was part of a broader movement to acknowledge and respect indigenous names and history, but Trump's proposal has reignited debates about historical naming rights, cultural recognition, and political symbolism.
