JUNEAU — Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy said Wednesday that he would seek out a conversation with President Donald Trump about his decision to rename Denali, the tallest mountain in the U.S. Trump ordered on Monday to change the name of the peak to Mount McKinley.

In 2015, the name of the peak was changed during the Obama administration to reflect the traditions of Alaska Natives and preference of many Alaskans.

The president made the name change through one of dozens of executive orders he signed on Monday. Former President Barack Obama’s administration ordered that the mountain be renamed as Denali in 2015.

Alaskans oppose reverting the name of Denali to Mount McKinley by more than a two-to-one margin, according to a survey of residents conducted several days before President Donald Trump announced he would make the change during his second inauguration speech Monday.

President Donald Trump announced the name change during his inaugural address, along with renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America”.

Renaming Denali back to Mount McKinley, along with renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, will be among the nearly 200 day-one executive orders Donald Trump is expected to sign after being sworn into office for his second term as president, according to published reports.

The mountain was previously called Mount McKinley, after the Ohio native former president. The name was officially changed in 2015.

Among the roughly 200 executive orders President Donald Trump is expected to sign during his first day in office is a declaration to restore the name of the 25th president, William McKinley, to an Alaska mountain.

President Trump plans to rename Denali back to Mount McKinley, reigniting debates with state leaders and advocacy groups who prefer the traditional Alaska Native name. Former President Obama renamed it in 2015 in acknowledgment of Alaska Native traditions.

William McKinley, the 25th president, loved tariffs and expanded American territory. What more do you need to know?

Centuries ago, Alaska's native Koyukon people settled on the name "Denali" for the tallest mountain in North America.Then, in 1896, a random European-American gold prospector decided to name it after presidential candidate William McKinley — and kicked-off a controversy that has raged ever since.
