Yellowstone peak renamed: Old name 'offensive,' park service says
The mountain was previously named for explorer Gustavus Doane
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.
The U.S. Board on Geographic Names voted unanimously, 15-0, affirming the decision.
Woke or removing history, just like our statues.
