Changing Place Names

This mountain is in Alaska. It was named Mount McKinley around 100 years ago. Ten years ago President Obama changed its name to Denali. That means “the great one” in the language of the people who live near the mountain. Now President Trump is changing the name back to Mount McKinley. Some people want to keep the name Denali.
