Renaming

The electoral district was renamed from North Slave to Monfwi on August 4, 2005. The date was chosen to coincide with the date the Tlicho Land Claim and Self-Government Agreement came into effect. The name change effected Jackson Lafferty who was elected in a by-election on July 18, 2005 and took his seat in the legislature on August 11, 2005. He was still considered to be elected as the elected member for the North Slave riding despite being sworn in after the name was changed.{{cite web|url=http://www.assembly.gov.nt.ca/_live/pages/wpPages/housebusnewsrelease2005.aspx#081105|title=New Member and Constituency Name for Former North Slave Riding |date=August 11, 2005|publisher=Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories|accessdate=October 13, 2011}}
