Talk of the name change has swirled in Alaska this year since the National Park Service officially registered no objection in a congressional hearing in Washington, D.C. 

The tallest mountain in North America has long been known to Alaskans as Denali, its Koyukon Athabascan name, but its official name was not changed with the creation of Denali National Park and Preserve in 1980, 6 million acres carved out for federal protection under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. The state changed the name of the park’s tallest mountain to Denali at that time, but the federal government did not.

Jewell’s authority stems from a 1947 federal law that allows her to make changes to geographic names through the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, according to the department.

“I think for people like myself that have known the mountain as Denali for years and certainly for Alaskans, it's something that's been a long time coming,” Jewell told Alaska Dispatch News Sunday.

Every year, the same story plays out in Washington, D.C.: Alaska legislators sometimes file bills to change the name from Mount McKinley to Denali, and every year, someone in the Ohio congressional delegation -- the home state of the 25th President William McKinley -- files legislation to block a name change.

Members of Alaska's congressional delegation said they were happy with the action.

"I’d like to thank the president for working with us to achieve this significant change to show honor, respect, and gratitude to the Athabascan people of Alaska,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said in a video statement recorded on the Ruth Glacier below the mountain.

Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, said in an email that "Denali belongs to Alaska and its citizens. The naming rights already went to ancestors of the Alaska Native people, like those of my wife’s family. For decades, Alaskans and members of our congressional delegation have been fighting for Denali to be recognized by the federal government by its true name. I’m gratified that the president respected this.”

Well you better blame your fellow citizens in Alaska who wanted it and while you're at it you can blame the Republican governor of Alaska who initiated this request 40 years ago

[headhuntersix]

I don't care...stupid all the way around.

[Irongrip400]

I read this on BBC this morning. I don't see why it's such a big deal, McKinley never even set foot on the mountain. Alaskans want it renamed, let them have it.

WGAF?

I think Kaliningrad should be changed back to Königsburg as well.

that's exactly why he did it. why on earth would this be a priority of the President??? if the mountain had been named after a democrat, or some ____minority/ interest group, do you HONESTLY think Obama would have got involved?? of course not.

[LurkerNoMore]

I don't care...stupid all the way around.

The only stupid about it is the attempt to blame Obama for it.

I'm sorry... What did Obama do here?

Last I saw it was some Interior Secretary.

Angry Bristol Palin wants Obama to get off her damn Alaska lawn, stop renaming her mountains


-snip-

He announced yesterday that he will be renaming Mt. McKinley, Denali, its “traditional Native American name.”

(...)

By the way, no one is buying the “Denali is what the Alaskans have called it for years” line. I’ve never called the mountain Denali .. and neither does anyone I know …


Cue the “quitter speech” by Half -Term Governor Mom Sarah Palin in 2009:

What an absolutely beautiful day it is, and it is my honor to speak to all Alaskans, to our Alaskan family this last time as your governor. And it is always great to be in Fairbanks. The rugged rugged hardy people that live up here and some of the most patriotic people whom you will ever know live here, and one thing that you are known for is your steadfast support of our military community up here and I thank you for that and thank you United States military for protecting the greatest nation on Earth. Together we stand.

And getting up here I say it is the best road trip in America soaring through nature’s finest show. Denali, the great one, soaring under the midnight sun.

I think Bristol palin - twice preggo spokesperson for abstinence who's never been married - will continue to be an entertaining political figure for years to come.  She's an adult who made hundreds of thousands of dollars shitting on those who cannot control their sexual urges - and the political landscape needs humor.

These fundies really are shameless aren't they?

Why is this soon to be two time unwed mother and alleged absitence advocate even giving any political opinions

Who the fuck cares about her opinion on anything

Actually I would like her opinion on so called Christians who lecture the rest of us on how we should be living our lives while doing the exact opposite themselves.

I wonder if she has any pearls of wisdom on that topic

[240 is Back]

IMO, it's usually the most fcked up people with multiple marriages (such as this woman) who are the loudest about what others shouldn't be doing.

imagine if some person tried to deny her that 5th marriage she might want one day.

you never care and its always stupid when the REAL truth is revealed
