As an Alaskan, I am totally AGAINST this change! Denali was the original Native Alaskan name for the mountain. McKinley never set foot in our state, and Alaskans have always called the mountain Denali, which means "The Great One". The change to Mt. McKinley was the wrong move - leave it as Denali! Obama made many bad decisions, but this wasn't one of them.

As an Alaskamo, I am totally FOR this change back! Alaskans have always called the mountain McKinley.
Next they are going to try and change Nome, Alaska back "NAME" Alaska.
