Anchrego, Alaska – The longest peak of North America is a focal point of Jeff King’s life.
The four-time winner of the 1,000-Meal Iditrod Trail Slade Dog Race, Denley National Park and the entrance of the preservo operate their kenel and muscle tourism business just 8 miles, and 20,310-foot (6,190-meters) mountain Dogs on large -scale large -scale dogs on nearby trails.
The king and many other people who live in the shadow of the mountain say say with Ohio and Alaska.
For many people who live near Denali, Trump’s suggestion was peculiar.
“I don’t know a single person who likes this idea, and we are very vocal about it,” the king said. “Denali respects indigenous people who have been here for thousands of years and around Denali.”
The mountain was named after McCinley when a professor went out of the forest in 1896, and he heard the first news that Republican was nominated to the President.
The name was quickly challenged, but the map was already aired with the name of the mountain.
At that time, there was no recognition of Denali, or “The High One”, at the interior by tribal members, was given on the mountain in Alaska, who live in the area for centuries.
McKinley’s name was stuck until 2015, when President Barack Obama’s administration turned it into a Denley as a symbolic gesture for Alaska original inhabitants on the eve of its Alaska visit to highlight climate change.
Trump said that he issued an order to restore the name of a great President William McNlay, to mount Mount McCinley, where it should be and where it is. President McCinley gave our country through tariffs and talent. Made very rich through.
The region is entirely in the United States, and Trump, as the President, has the right to change federal geographical names within the country.
In Ohio, Trump’s Kadam praised.
“I was really excited to see President Trump to see the executive order,” former American rape Bob Gibbs, R-Ohio, told The Associated Press by telephone on Thursday. McKinley was “a great president,” Gibbs said. “It was the right thing to do.”
It is not how Alaskan sees it.
Trump injectioned “a disgusting note” in Alaska cases, History Professor Emeritus Steve Hekox at the University of Alaska Encourage in the Encourage Daily News.
“Historical analysis confirms that William McKinley is a wrong public person to remember for Alaskan,” he said.
McCinley served as President since 1897 until he was murdered in 1901. He was a royal colonist who oversee the expansion of the American Empire with Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, Philippines and Hawaii’s occupation, pushed by business interests and Christian missionaries. To replace indigenous people, Hekox said.
Hekox said, “Trump’s push to cancel the name Denali for colonists and white aristocrats is insulting all Alaskans, especially for the original people of Alaska, and it must be well rejected , “Hekox said.
John Wayne Howe, who failed to the American house representing the Alaska Independence Party last year, believes that Alaskans should be allowed to vote when they become an independent nation, saying that he said “the names of the goods, The names of the period change. ”
He is’ not in favor of naming anything after people because “people we consider to be perfect changes over time, and it only leads to confusion.”

Last week, two resolutions were introduced in the Alaska Legislature to be named Denali.
Republican village. Mike Dunli, a Trump Associate, who praised another order by the President for the purpose of resource development in the state, said that he did not get a chance to talk with Trump about the issue, but interaction next month in Washington Hope to do it. What is Denali for Alaska, Americans and “our original people”.
But Sara Paulin, a former Republican Governor, who is also a pro -Trump, said that the name McKinley should never have been removed.
Paulin’s Secret Service Code was named Denali in 2008 when he was the running mate of GOP presidential candidate John Macken, when he lost to Obama and Joe Biden.
But in an interview with Al Arabia News last week, Palin said that he did not see why there is a need to change the mountain’s name to start.
“It has always been Mount McCinley,” Paulin said, who did not respond to a message from the Associated Press. “Anyone was begging for a change in the name in that summit. Just keep it back in that way, it was more common knowledge. ,
Alaska’s American senator, Republican Lisa Murkovsky and Dan Sulivan have supported the name Denali. US rape. Nick Begich, a first -term Republican, sidelined the debate.
“I am focusing on employment generation in Alaska, focusing on opportunities,” Begich told Politico. “And what we call a mountain in Alaska is a matter of little concern for me.”
Alaska is the native Heritage Center, the state -wide indigenous cultural center at Encourage, supports the names of indigenous places.
The Chairman of the Center, Emily Edentesh, said in a statement, “To restore them and respect them deeply, the millennium-old connection admits that indigenous people maintain with these lands and is a step towards respect and harmony. . ”
The Quarki Alaska community of Talketana, about 140 miles (225.3 km) to the south of the park and where a cat was once the mayor, is the point for climbers before climbing the peak. The historic community is also a popular tourist stop for the 1990s television series “Northern Exposure”.
Talcata’s Macichani worked as a summer fleet-guide for two years before leaving for Alaska in 2012. He is now a pilot for an air taxi company, taking climbers and tourists to a small airplane, which landed on the ground in a small airplane with a ski. The base camp is located above 7,200 feet (2,194.6 m) sea level on the Kahiltna glacier.
He knows that once the tourist season arrives, he will have to answer his questions what he thinks about changing Trump’s name. He knows what his answer will be.
“It has always been Denali, and it will always be,” he said.
Executive order can provoke name change, but compliance is another issue.
“Only those people who are going to follow it are probably those who are still calling it McCinley anyway,” Mcconi said
A long -standing Alaska feature is to ignore the rest of the world, and it is usually expressed in such a way: “We don’t care how they do it out.” Outside, which is always capitalized, refers to everywhere which is not Alaska.
“I think it would always be Denley,” Mcconi said in Alaska, informal and officially, “. “I don’t think the President can change it.”
For King, decorated Editrod Musher and fan favorite, Trump’s decision was a cause of ego.
“I wonder that he does not want to name Tram Mountain,” he said.
