In addition to the librarians, I had polled long-time Northerners, politicians, news reporters, etc. and all agree that the residents of the Northwest Territories are definitely not called a 'Nor'wester'. I also looked through official government documents and other northern publications and did not find use of the term 'Nor'wester' in connection with the Northwest Territories. ... The reality is that there really is no term used for the residents of the Northwest Territories. We are usually referred to as 'residents of the Northwest Territories', largely due to the fact that the population of the Northwest Territories is compiled of a diverse population comprised of Dene, Metis, Inuit, Inuvialuit, and non-aboriginals.")

We have received your question regarding the term 'Nor'Westers' in our quiz 'Demonyms 8.' Since this quiz was created before I began working on the Language Portal, I am unsure what the original source was for the demonym in question. I suspect the source may have been the entry in The Canadian Encyclopedia for the term Nor'Wester <http://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/norwester/>, which includes the following statement: 'A native or resident of the Northwest Territories, usually non-Indian, may be called a Nor'Wester'. However, if this use of the term is so rare that it is unfamiliar to librarians in the Northwest Territories, it is probably not in common enough use to be proposed in our quiz. We will have this question removed from the quiz.")

In the plural the term may refer to the NWC itself. A native or resident of the Northwest Territories, usually non-Indian, may be called a Nor'Wester, but in the literature of the fur trade the term is usually associated with the NWC and its members.)
