skipvia commented on the word denali
From Athabascan, translates as "the great one" or "the high one." This is the Athabascan name for Mt. McKinley, the tallest peak in North America. Everyone in Alaska refers to Mt. McKinley as Denali and the name of the national park surrounding it was changed to Denali National Park to reflect this. Alaskans routinely attempt to have the name of the mountain changed to Denali (it's "officially" Mt. McKinley, according to the US Board of Geographic Names) but this attempt is blocked each year in the US Congress by senators from Ohio, President McKinley's home state.

Hm. Seems like those guys in Ohio could find their own freakin' mountain to name after McKinley, doesn't it?

It's actually the source of some very bad blood in some circles. Apparently the issue even shows up in the campaigns of some Ohio senatorial candidates, who pledge to keep the mountain named "McKinley."
Not surprisingly, many Alaska Natives see this as a personal affront. It was "Denali" a long time before it was McKinley.

Ironic, given it's Athabascan translation.

chained_bear commented on the word denali
More than ironic. Kind of offensive.
Hey--I have an idea! Why doesn't the Secret Service call Sarah Palin Mount McKinley?! Then everyone will be happy!
