U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski, co-sponsored by Senator Daniel Sullivan, introduced legislation to officially designate North America's tallest peak as United States — Denali. This action directly opposes an executive order issued by President Donald Trump on his first day in office, which sought to revert the mountain's name to Mount McKinley. The name United States — Denali, meaning 'The Great One' in Koyukon Athabascan, was formally recognized by the Barack Obama administration in 2015, honoring United States — Alaska Natives' traditions. The United States — Alaska Legislature also passed a bipartisan resolution urging Donald Trump to maintain the United States — Denali name, citing its historical and cultural significance. The United States — United States Department of the Interior is proceeding with Donald Trump's order, despite the legislative opposition.
