Now restore Washington’s Birthday and Lincoln’s Birthday to their rightful holiday status.
Reverse Obama's malfeasance. DO IT!!
Perhaps we can call the Rio Grande something different like “Brave River of the South.”
Most Alaskans call it Denali, including Sarah Palin.

“Getting here can be described as the best road trip in America! Soaring through nature’s finest show you will see Denali – the Great One – soaring under the midnight sun.”
Rename the mountain back to Mount McKinley and leave the park as Denali National Park...
My feeling is keep things named after politicians in the past and agree that nothing should ever again be named after a politician.
Murkowski is repulsive.
One verse with "gulf":
Luke 16
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
The great ones,
Moses and the Prophets.
Great name for a band!
Is GMC going to rename their SUV Mt Mckinley?
He should also change Utqiagvik (sic) back to Barrow.
The mountain’s original name is Denali, given to it by the original inhabitants.
McKinley was a great man, but his name was applied later, arbitrarily, by a federal government not by the area’s Alaskans, as it should have been. So, name the park after McKinley, instead of stomping all over tradition with big federal boots like Obama also did.
THERE IS LAUNDRY LIST OF MILITARY PLACES THAT NEED TO REGAIN THEIR RIGHTFUL NAMES, ALSO,
Libs are idiots who don’t do their homework. Their furor over giving an additional name to a mountain in honor of an assassinated President is mind-boggling. The world is a better place now that we are making progress beyond the long history of technical decadence and widespread abuse of people among the Amerinds before European explorers arrived in the 15th century. I’m not endorsing all that these explorers did. I’m just pointing out how non-progressive things were in the Americas before these explorers arrived.
Question for ChatGPT: In the Koyukon Athabascan language what would they call Mount Everest?
Answer: In the Koyukon Athabascan language, they might use a term similar to “Denali,” which means “the high one” or “the tall one,” to describe Mount Everest.
Question for ChatGPT: How did Mount Everest get its name?
Answer: Mount Everest was named after Sir George Everest, a British surveyor who served as the Surveyor General of India from 1830 to 1843. The mountain was initially known as Peak XV until Andrew Waugh, Everest’s successor, proposed naming it after him in 1865. Despite Sir George Everest himself preferring local names, the Royal Geographical Society decided to honor him with the name. Before this, the mountain was known by its native names: “Chomolungma” in Tibetan, meaning “Goddess Mother of the World,” and “Sagarmatha” in Nepali, meaning “Forehead of the Sky”.
Question: Is there any evidence of the Koyukon Athabascans in Alaska referring to Mount Everest as Chomolungma or Sagarmatha?
There is no evidence to suggest that the Koyukon Athabascans in Alaska refer to Mount Everest as “Chomolungma” or “Sagarmatha.” These names are specific to the regions around Mount Everest: “Chomolungma” is the Tibetan name, and “Sagarmatha” is the Nepali name.
Question: Please describe all of the known inventions and progress that the Koyukon Athabascans have made for LGBTQ rights, women’s rights, child abuse prevention, and making the world better.
Answer: The Koyukon Athabascans, like many Indigenous groups, have a rich cultural heritage and have made significant contributions to their communities and the broader world. However, specific documented inventions or progress in areas such as LGBTQ rights, women’s rights, and child abuse prevention are not widely recorded in mainstream sources. Their contributions are often more community-focused and may not be as well-documented as those in more urbanized societies.
Question: What were some of the common types of violence done against people, women, disabled, elderly, and children among the Amerinds before European explorers arrived in large numbers during the 15th century?
Answer: Before European explorers arrived in large numbers during the 15th century, various forms of violence were present among Indigenous peoples of the Americas (Amerinds). These forms of violence varied widely among different tribes and regions. Here are some common types:
Intertribal Warfare: Conflicts between different tribes were common and could involve raids, battles, and skirmishes.
Ritualistic Violence: Some tribes practiced ritualistic violence, including human sacrifice and ritual combat, often tied to religious or cultural beliefs.
Domestic Violence: Like many societies, domestic violence existed, affecting women, children, and other vulnerable members of the community.
Punitive Measures: Harsh punishments for crimes or breaches of social norms could include physical punishment or even death.
Slavery and Captivity: Some tribes practiced slavery or took captives during conflicts, who could be subjected to harsh treatment.
It’s important to note that these practices were not universal and varied greatly among different tribes and cultures. Additionally, many Indigenous societies had complex social structures and systems of justice that aimed to maintain order and resolve conflicts.
Question: Did any of the Amerinds ever engage in human sacrifices?
Answer: Yes, some Indigenous cultures in the Americas did engage in human sacrifices before European contact. Notable examples include:
Aztecs: The Aztecs are perhaps the most well-known for their practice of human sacrifice. They believed that offering human lives was necessary to appease their gods and ensure the continuation of the world. Sacrifices were often conducted on top of pyramids, where the hearts of the victims were removed.
Mayans: The Mayans also practiced human sacrifice, often as part of religious ceremonies. They believed that blood was a powerful offering to their gods. Common methods included decapitation and heart removal.
Incas: The Incas practiced human sacrifice, particularly in the form of capacocha, a ritual where children were sacrificed to the gods during important events or times of crisis. These sacrifices were seen as offerings to ensure the favor of the gods.
