The Alaska legislative body issued a decision on Friday urging President Donald Trump, unlike the path and keeping the longest peak in North America, such as Denali, instead of changing it to Mount McKinley.
On his first day in his post, Trump signed an executive order calling for a return to Mount McKinley, an identifier inspired by President William McKinley, who was from Ohio and did not put his foot in Alaska.
He said he intends to “restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley, where he should be and where he belongs.
The vote was 19-0 in the Senate in the state, more than a week after the House of Representatives approved this measure 31-8.
The decision was sponsored by Representative Maxine Dibert, a democratic is Qoyukon Astabaskan.
The members of that tribe gave the name Denali, or “The High One”, on the mountain in the inner Alaska.
“Denali is more than just a mountain,” Debert of Verbanks said in a press statement.
“It is the cornerstone of Alaska's history, in honor of our diverse culture and a testimony to people who have been proud of this land for thousands of years.”
The Ministry of Interior announced late last month that its efforts were underway to implement the Trump rename, although state leaders did not see it as stable.
A spokeswoman for internal, c. Elizabeth Salam, earlier this week that the agency had no other updates.
According to the National Park Service service, “PEAK MOUNT MCKINEY” was called Lylam McKinley, who was elected president of that year.
Although there are challenges on the name MCKINLY at a time when it was announced, the maps have already been distributed in the name of the mountain in place.
The name was officially recognized by the United States government until it was changed in 2015 by the Obama administration to Denali.
The name change reflects the traditions of the indigenous Alaska population and the preference of many Alaska, which was confirmed by the payment of state leaders decades ago.
A 20310 -foot mountain (6,190 meters) can be seen in Denali National Park and maintained clear days of hundreds of miles.
“Denali is the name of our mountain. Price Edgon, Speaker of the House of Representatives, who is independent of Dellingham, said in the press statement that a name is of great importance to the indigenous Alaska residents and every person all over our state.
“It is clear from the support from the two parties in the legislative body to decide Alaska.”
