I do know that trappers in Canada just dreaded having one show
up on their traplines as it meant they either got rid of the
wolverine or ended up in the poor house! The creature would
follow their line and tear up any thing in the trap, spring
traps and just generally raise "Hell" The first nation people
had some pretty colorful names for them as well. I speak
from trappers in the fifties from western Canada. YMMV

The Native Peoples in Michigan called the early settlers Wolverines because it was the nastiest, stinkiest, greediest, most antisocial, rapacious animal they were familiar with.
