WASHINGTON — President Obama announced on Sunday that Mount McKinley was being renamed Denali, using his executive power to restore an Alaska Native name with deep cultural significance to the tallest mountain in North America. It is the latest bid by the president to fulfill his 2008 campaign promise to improve relations between the federal government and the nation’s American Indian tribes, an important political constituency that has a long history of grievances against the government.

Если индейцы на это поведутся, то они чудаки.

Интересно, на местности ее кто-нибудь называл иначе? Парк вокруг даже официально всегда назывался Denali National Park
