I read an article the other day that stated the name was not actually opposed up until some activists got hold of the issue some 40 years ago and turned it into one.
Do you think any other government that might replace us down the road would have second thoughts naming places as they saw fit?
Should we start reverting all the places we have renamed in the United States?
Having the third largest National Park known as Denali seems to be honoring that name. It’s not like the name was erased from society or anything.
I’m just stating a fact. I don’t know why Sarah saw it the way she did, and to say otherwise wouldn’t be fair to her.
False claim. It was hated from the beginning.
Hudson Stuck, the first to climb to the Summit of Denali 1913 pleaded to get the original name restored.

I think the will of the people who live there should not have a group of outsiders change the name of their local place. I think when such a wrong has been done, and the locals spend decades trying to get an overbearing federal government to restore their rights to local control, we should encourage them.
