Mount McKinley's Alaska name Denali is restored by Obama 31 August 2015 From the section - US & Canada
The northern face of Denali. The early morning sunlight hits the summit area at about 2:00 AM. This picture was taken by someone I do not know. I know this scene so well because I took the exactly the same picture during the all-night-descent on foot on the Muldrow Glacier in the night of July 5, 1979. I noticed this picture at this Internet news. This picture makes my heart flutter... It was 36 years ago. - by WM. After decades of controversy, the name of Mount McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America, has been changed back to its original native Alaskan, Denali. The 20,237ft (6,168m) peak was named by a gold prospector in 1896 after he heard that William McKinley had been nominated to become the US president. US President Barack Obama announced the change ahead of a three-day visit to Alaska to highlight climate change. But Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner has denounced the move. The new name Denali translates as High One or Great One and is used widely by locals. |

북미 대륙의 지붕격인 Mount McKinley를 Mount Denali로 바꾼것은
좀 늦은감이 있지만 잘한일이라 생각합니다.
이산에대한 추억은 이 험한산을 완등했었던 우리 운영자님과 같은 깊은
인연은 없어도 이사람에게도 작은 기억거리가 되는곳입니다.
수년전에 아들덕에 알라스카 내륙여행시 Denali National Park에서
몇일의 캠핑 그리고 디넬리 국립공원 가는길에 아들의 주선으로
경 비행기를 타고 이산을 둘러 보았던 기억,그리고 이국립공원에서
Anchorage로 돌아오는길에 운이 좋게도 구름이 걷힌 이명산의
위용을 Denali State Park에서 즐기며 사진을 찎일수 있었던일들이
기억속에주마등 같이 지나가네요. 규정

The Athabascan Indians lived in this area hundreds of years (or maybe even thousands).
They saw the majestic single solitary mountain arising from the central Alaskan plains
and they called it "Denali" (meaning "The Big One").
Then in 1896, some gold digger called it "Mount McKinly" after the name of an Ohio senator
who was for the gold standard.
Somehow, the new name got stuck and stayed that way ever since.
I am really glad that Obama restored the name to the original Indian name of Denali.
Denali is rightfully theirs not ours in the lower states that include Ohio.
I know personally that "any and all" mountain climbers call the mountain as Denali.
And, also, the name of Mount McKinley National Park was changed to "Denali National Park" long time ago.
Now, I can sleep better knowing that an injustice by the white people had been corrected.
The Athabascans got their own name back !!
No presidents had ever been brave enough to have done such thing before.
Obama has done it because he is Obama !! Only he can do such thing.
