Renaming of North America’s highest peak from Mt. McKinley to Denali was recognized yesterday by federal and tribal officials at the Tanana Chief’s Conference annual meeting in Fairbanks. As KUAC’s Dan Bross reports, 3 other lesser publicized name changes were also highlighted.

Dan has been in public radio news in Alaska since 1993. He’s worked as a reporter, newscaster and talk show host at stations in McGrath, Valdez and Fairbanks. Dan’s experience includes coverage of a wide range of topics, from wolf control to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and dog mushing.
