The National Park Service announced last week that Yellowstone National Park’s Mount Doane would be renamed First Peoples Mountain. The agency said Thursday the change was taken to remove an “offensive name” from America’s first national park. A government panel has renamed a Yellowstone National Park mountain that had been named for a US Army officer who helped lead a massacre of Native Americans. Yellowstone National Park reached out to all 27 associated Tribes over the last several months and received no opposition or concerns regarding the change. The name change will be reflected in The Domestic Names Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) in coming days.
