President Donald Trump’s promise to change the names of North America’s highest peak is a rebound between some Alaska indigenous people and Alaska, including the Republican Party.
President Trump reiterated his intention to return Denari’s name to Macinley Mt. Barak Obama named the mountain as Denari during the president, and revoked the designated in 1917, respecting the 25th President William McKinley.
It turned out that the declaration of name change was very controversial. Koyukon, the Asabaskas Group, Alaska, called Denari for centuries, until McKinley became President or Alaska became a US state.

Another Republican Senator Lisa Marcausky, who was elected Alaska, said he had “strongly opposed” to Trump’s decision to change the mountain name.
“The highest peak in Japan, which has been called Denari for thousands of years, must be known for its legitimate name given by the Alaska Koyukon Asabasca, who has been managing this land for a long time. I wrote it in the post to X.
However, not all reactions to President Trump’s presentation were negative. Massy McKinley, a nephew of McKinley and a member of the President of the President, said his ancestors, “worthy of his name in the mountains.”
The choice of respecting McKinley through Denari’s renamed names has been particularly in conflict with opinions because the former President had a racist view of indigenous people.
“I couldn’t leave them (indigenous people). They were not suitable for autonomy,” said McKinley in an interview with the Philippines and its people. “What we can do is to accept them … there’s nothing left except to upload, civilized, Christianity, and do the best as possible with the blessings of God.
