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.
The Wyoming mountain stands at 10,551 feet east of Yellowstone Lake.
The mountain was previously named after explorer Gustavus Doane.
He participated in the Sioux war of 1876, the Nez Pearce War of 1877 and the Apache campaign of 1886.
Doane also led the first official exploration of present-day Yellowstone National Park, the Langford-Washburn expedition of 1870.
