Sen. Murkowski Seeks To Bury McKinley Once More


Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski has brought legislation to the U.S. Congress seeking to put down the name of Mt. McKinley and replace it with a traditional Alaska native name 'Denali' probably derived from the name of the Dena'ina Athabascan Indians of Alaska.


Athabascans were a great tribe of immigrants to Alaska that were the source of several branches such as Tlingit and Navaho tribes as well as numerous others.

It might be better to rename the tallest mountain in North America 'Tenados'-another traditional name. I believe Mt. McKinley has more than 27 different names.

Tenados is more readily traceable linguistically to ancient origins-perhaps even the large island named Tenados in the far Eastern Mediterranean Sea. There was an ancient Mediterranean Sea area people with a blood group found in Druse people as well as Algonquin and Yakima that migrated to America long ago probably bringing there language with them via Siberia.

The word 'Ka' is found in the word Ka'ba or spirit house in the Middle East, and the word Desh is a very ancient Egyptian name for 'land'. The Deshka River in Alaska is a drainage of Mt. McKinley running into the Susitna.
