The resolution expresses the Alaska State Legislature's opposition to any efforts aimed at renaming the tallest mountain in North America from Denali back to Mt. McKinley. It emphasizes the historical significance of the name Denali, which has been used by the Koyukon Athabaskan people for thousands of years and translates to "the high one." The resolution highlights the mountain's elevation of 20,310 feet and notes that the name Mt. McKinley was given in 1896 after a presidential candidate who never visited Alaska. It also acknowledges the cultural importance of the name Denali, particularly in recognizing the heritage and stewardship of Alaska Native peoples.

Furthermore, the resolution reaffirms the decision made by the United States Department of the Interior in 2015 to officially restore the name Denali, reflecting a long-standing advocacy for the recognition of Alaska Native culture. The Alaska State Legislature calls for continued efforts to honor the mountain's heritage and the contributions of Alaska Native peoples. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key federal officials, including the President, Vice President, and members of Alaska's congressional delegation, to ensure that their stance is communicated at the national level.
