The name 'Denali' is derived from the Koyukon name and is based on a verb theme meaning 'high' or 'tall', according to linguist James Kari of the Alaska Native Language Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, in the book 'Shem Pete's Alaska'. It doesn't mean 'the great one', as is commonly believed, Kari wrote.
This earthquake was violent at Fairbanks and strong at Kennicott. The earth 'heaved and rolled' at the north base of Mt. McKinley and the country was scarred with landslides.
The State of Alaska changed the name of the mountain to Denali in 1975, although the U.S. Board on Geographic Names has continued to use the name Mount McKinley. Today most Alaskans refer to Mount McKinley as Denali.
