Yellowstone National Park has renamed one of its mountains to honor Native Americans instead of the US Army captain who massacred them.
Once named after Gustavus Doane, Mount Doane has been renamed First Peoples Mountain, the National Park Service (NPS) announced on Thursday. The 10,551-foot peak stands east of Yellowstone Lake in the country's first national park.
