Wyoming Board of Geographic Names voted to change name of Mount Doane to the First Peoples Mountain.
One of the highest peaks in Yellowstone National Park may be renamed from Mount Doane to the First Peoples Mountain over claims Gustavus Cheyney Doane—after who the mountain is named—was a"horrible man who actively engaged in violence towards Native People."
Doane, who died in 1892, was a Civil War soldier credited in having a key role in the exploration and establishment of Yellowstone National Park. He was one of the escorts on the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition and provided reports to the Secretary of War relating to the natural phenomenon at Yellowstone.The Powell Tribune
There have been calls for the 10,551ft Mount Doane to be renamed from various groups, citing war crimes and violence. The Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council also submitted a proposal to rename Hayden Valley—named after geologist Ferdinand Hayden—because of his views on tribal people. Three years later, an official submission was made to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to have both Mount Doane and Hayden Valley changed to the First Peoples Mountain and Buffalo Nations Valley, respectively. The Board then put the matter to the Park County, the Wyoming Board of Geographic Names, and the National Park Service.
