    “… to restore an Alaska Native name…”

    That’s taking the name back to Koyukon. It’s not remotely equivalent to making a name up; like they’ve tried with the Gulf of Mexico. Poor equivalence to conflate the two.

      Read what I said again. I’m equating the actions that both presidents took to effect the change of name, not the justification or reasoning behind it. People are getting upset that trump used an executive order. There are plenty of reasons to be upset at this, but that isn’t one.
