The vote came a week after Trump on his first day in office signed an executive order calling for the name to revert to Mount McKinley.

King and many others who live in the mountain’s shadow say most Alaskans will never stop calling the peak Denali, its Alaska Native name, despite President Donald Trump’s executive order that the name revert to Mount McKinley -- an identifier inspired by President William McKinley, who was from Ohio and never set foot in Alaska.

President Donald Trump has issued an executive order calling for North America’s tallest peak — Denali in Alaska — to be renamed Mount McKinley.

A common sentiment in Alaska is that while President Donald Trump has ordered the name of North America’s tallest peak to be changed from Denali to McKinley, Alaskans will call it what they want. And popular consensus seems to favor Denali.

Alaska House members passed a resolution Monday urging President Trump not to rename Mount Denali to Mount Mckinley. Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office that undid a 2015 order from former President Obama naming North America’s highest peak Mount Denali.
