The Innu, Wabanaki, Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, & Passamaquaddy Tribes had various, ( But also quite similar names for the Wolverine ).
They named the Wolverine "Keekwajou", "Gigwadju", "Keehcajoo", & "Keekwajoo" ( It is pronounced KEE - KWAH - JOO ) They also called the Wolverine "Devil Bear" ( and this is probably the key answer to your Question ), as this became a common Nick name among the Tribes. More specifically however, they nick - named him "The Indian Devil" in their native tongues, which is, "Skicinuwi - Wahant" and also..."W'skidciwi - Wahant".
The Wolverine is also called The "Lox"...( a Magical Spirit residing in the Wolverines )...which Rhymes with the word "Blokes" in the Maliseet Tongue; and Rhymes with the word "Blocks" in the Passamaquaddy Tongue; and Rhymes with the word "Dukes" in the Mi'kmaq Tongue.
The Wolverine was also known as the "Great Trickster" as he can get away with stealing game from traps that even Mink and Fox will get caught in. He is also a "Power animal" in Indian Lore, as he Posseses a Magical Spirit, and is a Prime Link between the material and Spiritual worlds. Very similar in antics, powers, and scope, to that of the Raven's role in other Native American Legends.
The Wolverine is the very epitome of the defintion of the word Fearless, and will stand his ground to all comers! They are also highly Intelligent, and naturally curious, and also unfortunately, an increasingly rare animal that is a symbol of our last Wilderness Frontiers. They deserve and need our efforts at Protecting them from the Endangered Species List which they are destined to be on soon.( They may even already be on this list, as I had read recently that they were being seriously considered for placement on it, in a 2011 article.)
