CNN —The highest peak at Great Smoky Mountains National Park is officially reverting to its Cherokee name more than 150 years after a surveyor named it for a Confederate general. “The Cherokee People have had strong connections to Kuwohi and the surrounding area, long before the land became a national park. Great Smoky Mountains National Park closes Kuwohi every year for three half-days so that predominantly Cherokee schools can visit the mountain and learn its history. Great Smoky Mountains National Park, on the Tennessee-North Carolina border, is America’s most visited national park, and Kuwohi is one its most popular sites, with more than 650,000 visitors per year. The name-restoration proposal was submitted in January by Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Principal Chief Michell Hicks.
