“...introduced a bill to give Mount McKinley its historical Alaska Native name.”

Forget that! If we are going to rename it, we should rename it something awesome, like “Mount Freedom”.

Reminds me of a mountain in Tadzhikistan that keeps getting its name changed. The highest mountain in the old Soviet Union and one of the highest on earth, it was at first called by some native name. Then the Soviets renamed it Stalin Peak. After Stalin fell out of favor, it was renamed Communism Peak. When the Soviet Union collapsed and Tadzhikistan won its independence, it was again renamed for Ismail Samani, a medieval Tadzhik king.
