Obama administration doesn't object to name change

Mount McKinley’s official name is changed to Denali, as it is referred to by many residents of the state, Alaska Dispatch News reports.

“The National Park Service appreciates the long history and public interest for both the name Mount McKinley and the traditional Athabaskan name Denali,” Victor Knox, a director with the park service, said at the Senate hearing. “The department respects the choice made by this legislation and it does not object to S. 319,” he said.
