Newfoundlander

Eastern island resident

A Newfoundlander is a person from Newfoundland, the Canadian island province.

The term carries cultural weight—Newfoundlanders are known for distinctive accents, maritime traditions, and a strong regional identity.

My grandfather was a Newfoundlander who fished cod his whole life.

A Newfoundlander is also a large, powerful breed of dog originally bred on the island, known for swimming ability and gentle temperament.
