Following President Donald Trump's decision to change the name of the tallest mountain in North America to Mount McKinley, Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski has reintroduced a measure to designate the mountain as Denali. Senator Dan Sullivan is the original cosponsor of the measure.

In a press release, Senator Murkowski emphasized the significance of the name Denali in Alaska, stating that it reflects the mountain's majestic size and the reverence it holds among the Koyukon Athabascans, who refer to it as 'The Great One.'
