I have heard there's quite a backlash to this in Ohio and Alaska. (I can't find the article I read earlier today.)

I think the Alaskan governor has come out and said they won't be honoring this change.

Personally I don't get it, there's really nothing to gain by appeasing however many descendants there are of some old, defeated, stone-aged tribe of people, but whatever.

I heard he did it to deflect from the fact he is up there talking about global warming in the day, and giving Shell new drilling contracts at night.

Hey Ohio, find your own mountain.

Honestly, my whole life I've heard it referred to as both, and I could not care less.

Why not do what they do at football games, and have it be Mount McKinley peak at Denali Mountain? :)

I'm an Ohioan and I don't really care aside from what i said above.  It's just pandering for no reason.

In fact, what is now properly known as Denali National Park was known as McKinley National Park until 1980, five years after the initial request to restore the mountain’s name.

So it was Mt McKinley in Denali National Park.

Well, hell, just switch the names.
