Alaska renamed the mountain in 1980. We have been waiting for the Feds to come around since before then.

Denali is the name of the mountain given to it by the first people to live in what is now Alaska.

The name McKinley was given to it by a prospector in I think 1917.

Alaskans have tried for over 40 years to get it changed in Congress, and the *only* people opposed to it have been Ohio politicians.

McKinley never visited the state, never saw the mountain. There is absolutely nothing to tie him to the mountain except for one prospector.

If you come to Alaska, you will hear it referred to as Denali.

It’s high time that Ohio politicians worry about their own state and not ours.

Good.

Then all that remains in this issue is for Alaska to reclaim THEIR land.
