The resolution urges the President of the United States and the Secretary of the Interior to retain "Denali" as the official name for North America's tallest mountain, emphasizing its significance as the traditional Koyukon Athabaskan name. It highlights the cultural and historical importance of the name to the state of Alaska and its residents, who believe that geographic names should reflect the preferences of local communities. The resolution notes that Denali has been recognized as the official name since 1975 and was reaffirmed by the U.S. government in 2015, with widespread support from Alaskans across various backgrounds.

Furthermore, the resolution argues that changing the mountain's name back to "Mount McKinley" would be costly and disrespectful, particularly to Alaska Native peoples, as President McKinley had no direct connection to the mountain or the state. It underscores the pride Alaskans take in the name Denali, which is well-established and recognized both locally and nationally, and warns that any name change could lead to confusion and negatively impact tourism. The resolution concludes by directing copies to key federal officials and members of Alaska's congressional delegation.
