...the mountain is called Denali by both indigent Alaskans of all races and long-term residents...

What do Alaskans who are not indigent call it? How much money do you have to have to call it something else?

Absolutely no Alaskan resident will refer to this mountain as McKinley. It’s always been Denali regardless of race.

There’s already Denali National Park, Denali State Park, Denali State Highway, all in the Denali Borough.

Even the state government has passed bills to call it Denali. Only the tourists and the outsiders, (Those living in the lower 48) called it after the man from Ohio.

After being there, it just smacks of yankee imperialism to accept the Fed. Govt. name when an existing Name was better.

Best to let it go back then fight the war.
