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 deep cultural and historical ties that the name Denali has with the state of Alaska and its Indigenous peoples, who have inhabited the region for over 10,000 years. The resolution notes that Denali was officially designated as the mountain's name in 1975 and reaffirmed by the U.S. government in 2015, reflecting the pride and recognition of the name among Alaskan residents across various backgrounds.

Furthermore, the resolution argues that changing the mountain's name back to "Mount McKinley" would be costly, disrespectful, and could lead to confusion, particularly in terms of tourism. It points out that President McKinley had no significant connection to the mountain or the state, and emphasizes the importance of using Indigenous names to honor the rich legacy of Alaska Native cultures and languages. 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.
