Alaska says that Trump can change the name Denali, but he cannot make people call him Malkini Mountain

The tallest summit in North America is a pivotal point in the life of Jeff King.

The winner of four times in the 1,609 km lengths of his tourist work in the dog house and the method is only 12 km from Denali National Park and the preservation entrance, and the mountains with a length of 6190 meters swear as his dogs are trained in nearby tracks.

The king and many others who live under the mountain say that most Alaska will never stop The name returns to Mount McKinley – Identity inspired by President William McKinley, who was from Ohio and did not put his foot in Alaska.

For many who live near Denali, Trump’s proposal was strange.

“I don’t know one person who loves the idea, and we are loud about it,” King said. “Denali respects the indigenous people who were here and about Denali for tens of thousands of years.”

The mountain was named after McKinley when he came out of Alaska wilderness in 1896, and the first news he heard was that the Republican had been nominated for the president.

The name was quickly challenged, but the maps were already distributed as the mountain in place.

At that time, there was no recognition of the name of Denali, or “The High One”, which he gave him on the mountain in the inner Alaska by ATHABASCAN Tribal members, who lived in the region for centuries.

McKinley’s name grabbed until 2015, when the administration of President Barack Obama changed Denali as a symbolic gesture to the indigenous Alaska population on the eve of his visit to Alaska to highlight climate change.

Trump said that he issued an order, “Restore the name of a great president, William McKinley, to Mount McKinley, where he should be and his place.

The region is located only in the United States, and Trump, as president, has the authority to change federal geographical names within the country.

In Ohio, Trump’s move was seized.

“I was very excited to see President Trump to do this executive.” Gibbs said McKinley “was a great president.” “It was the right thing to do.”

This is not how Alaska sees it.

“Loud Memorandum”

Trump’s “noisy note” injection in Alaska affairs, Steve Hyokox, an honorary professor in history at the University of Alaskurag, Books in The Anchorage Daily News.

“The historical analysis confirms that William McKinley is the wrong general number of Alaska to celebrate,” he said.

McKinley held the position of president from 1897 until his assassination in 1901. He was an imperial colonist who supervised the expansion of the American empire with the occupation of Cuba, Portorico, Jamen, the Philippines and Hawaii, which was pushed by commercial interests and Christian missionaries who want to transform the indigenous peoples, said Haycox.

“Paying Trump to cancel the name of Denali to the colonial and white vice, McKinley insults all Alaska, especially for the indigenous Alaska people, and it must be rejected properly.”

John Wayne Howe, who was running in vain to the American home last year, which represents the Independence Party in Alaska, and who believes that Alaska should be allowed to vote to become an independent nation, he is tired of “people who change the names of things, the period.”

It also does not support the naming of anything after people because “people who consider it a perfect change over time, and this is confused.”

Hao said he prefers Denali because he knows McKinley’s history, the most preferred name by Alaska.

Last week, two decisions in the Alaska Legislative Council were submitted to preserve the name of Denali.

Republican ruler Mike Dniple, a Trump ally who praised another order by the president with the aim of stimulating the development of resources in the state, said that he had no opportunity to speak with Trump on this issue but he was hoping to have a conversation next month in Washington. What does Denali mean to Alaska. And the Americans and “our original people”.

But Sarah Balin, a former Republican governor, who is also a supporter of Trump, said that the name McKinley had never been removed.

The name of the Palin Secret Service Denali was in 2008 when the Republican Republican candidate John McCain was in the year they lost to Obama and Joe Biden.

But in an interview with Al Araya News last week, Palin said she hadn’t seen why the mountain name should be changed to start.

“It has always been Malkini Mount,” said Palin, who did not respond to a message from the Associated Press. “No one was begging for a change in the name in that peak.

The American Senate members of Alaska, Republicans, Lisa Moorkovsky and Dan Sullivan, have supported the name of Denali. American MP Nick B. Beach, a Republican in the first period, avoided the debate.

“I focus on creating job opportunities and opportunities in Alaska,” Pesic told Politico. “What we call a mountain in Alaska is a great concern for me.”

The original heritage center in Alaska, the original cultural center at the state level in Ancorage, supports the preservation of the names of the original places.

The head of the center, Emily Edenso, said in a statement, “Restoring and honoring them acknowledges a thousand -year -old deep communication they keep these lands and is a step towards respect and reconciliation,” the head of the center, Emily Edenso, said in a statement.

The strange Alaska community in Talkeetna, about 225 km south of the garden and where a cat was one day, is the jumping point for climbers before the rise ascends. The historical community has long been considered to be an inspiration for the TV series in the 1990s, “Northern Exposure” is also a famous tourist station.

Joe Maktahini from Talkeetna worked as a two -year summer guide before moving to Alaska full -time in 2012. He is now a pilot for air taxi company, and he holds climbers and tourists to the mountain in a small plane equipped with jacket 2,194 meters above sea level.

He knows once the tourism season comes, he will have to answer their questions about what he is thinking about changing Trump the name. He knows what his answer will be.

“He has always been my Danali, and he will always remain,” he said.

Executive order can incite the change of name, but compliance is another issue.

“The only people who will adhere to this are probably the people who would have been calling McKinley anyway,” said Makawini.

There is a long -term Alaska feature to ignore what the rest of the world thinks, and it is usually expressed in this way: “We do not care how to do it outside.” Outside, which is always drawn, indicates everywhere not Alaska.

Makamini said: “I think unofficially and saved in Alaska, it will always be Denali.” “I don’t think the president can change this.”

For King, The Decored Idarod Musher and Fan Favor, Trump’s decision was a whiff of arrogance.

“I am surprised that he does not want to name Mount Trump,” he said.
