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 importance of Denali 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 the official name since 1975 and was reaffirmed by the U.S. government in 2015, with widespread support from Alaskans across various backgrounds.

Additionally, the resolution points out 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 historical connection to the mountain or the state. It underscores the pride Alaskans take in the name Denali, which is recognized both locally and nationally, and warns that renaming the mountain could lead to confusion and negatively impact tourism. The resolution concludes by calling for the preservation of the name Denali and requests that copies be sent to key government officials, including the President and members of Alaska's congressional delegation.
