It is called Denali or the Great One.
Numerous native peoples of the area had their own names for this prominent peak. The local Athabaskan name for the mountain, the one used by the Native Americans with access to the flanks of the mountain (living in the Yukon, Tanana and Kuskowim basins), is Dinale or Denali ("the High One"). To the South the Dena'ina people in the Susitna River valley used the name Dghelay Ka'a (simplified to Doleika), meaning "the big mountain", while the Aleuts called it Traleika.
