Mount McKinley, known simply as ‘Denali,’

Is this PC or is there some other element in the two names?

Just asking.

We can see the top of this view on clear days from the Tudor Road overpass.

Up here it is Denali, the Great One, the name the natives have always used. It got changed somewhere along the line, maybe to differentiate betwen Denali National Park and the mountain, but in 1980 it was changed back to Denali.
