The Alaska House has voted to urge President Donald Trump to reverse course and retain the name of North America’s tallest peak as Denali.

North America’s tallest peak is renamed Mt. McKinley, but many Alaskans favor a name that spans deep into history.

President Trump has ordered the name of North America's tallest peak to revert from Denali to its former name: Mount McKinley. We want to hear from you: What should Alaska's highest mountain be named and why does it matter to you? Or maybe it doesn't matter to you. We'd still like to hear your thoughts on the subject.

The state Senate is expected to quickly agree with the House's request to keep the name as Denali, which would send it to Washington, D.C.

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.

The House resolution, sponsored by Rep. Maxine Dibert, D-Fairbanks, says the name Denali is “deeply ingrained in the state’s culture and identity” and urges Trump to maintain Denali as the peak’s official name in federal databases.

Republicans in the Alaska House tried Monday to change a resolution objecting to the renaming of Denali to Mount McKinley into a lengthy list of lavish praise for President Donald Trump, who issued the executive order making the change on his first day back in office a week ago,

The president wants to honor a predecessor, William McKinley, by returning his name to North America’s highest peak. The state’s senators prefer the Native name.

President Donald Trump announced the name of Alaska’s highest peak — and North America’s tallest at over 20,000 feet — Denali, would be changed back to Mount McKinley. Trump was sworn in as the 47th president on Monday,
