They're not getting updated. I'm thinking everyone involved will just delay or ignore it until he forgets and he will never visit it or give a shit about Denali. I could see him trying to do some sort of stupid ribbon cutting for the Gulf of America though.
The change to "Denali" came via a request firstvmade by the (conservative) Alaskan Legislature in 1975.
This order will be unpopular in Alaska. I doubt it crossed his tiny little mind to even think about asking the people of Alaska how they'd react to his tone-deaf change.
Climbed it when called McKinley. Climbed it when called Denali. So much more poetic when called Denali. It fits. The name will stick no matter what Trump says
I am from Alaska and we called it Denali even before Obama officially changed it to Denali. That’s its name given by the native people, so that’s its name
1. He's real big on tariff loving McKinley.
2. It's a dig at Senator Murkowski who did not endorse him.
3. The State of Alaska's request for "Denali" was formally approved by Obama.
4. "Denali" is a native, not a white person's word.
5. He's stupid and has no sense of history.
6. Because he can.
Odd war to start. Alaska Natives started negotiating this in the 1980 Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, to allow Alaska Pipeline construction. Was first dubbed Mt McKinley by a random 1896 gold rusher for the sitting president. I guess we can add pro-McKinley & anti-Alaska Native to MAGA's creed
Yep. I lived/worked at Denali in the 90s and that's true. Only exception was some other Native Alaskans had their own name for it (multiple language groups could see the thing, it's that big).
