[Northkeep] Nordsteorra...sigh

[Hugh & Belinda Niewoehner]

Forgive my ignorance, both heraldic and scientific.  I like the idea of 
the North being associated with the North Star.  My understanding is 
that the "north star" changes astronomically and it has actually been 
different stars at different times.  Rather than saying "Polaris", can 
we not just refer to ourselves as the "North Star"?   Do we not always 
point or show a good example no matter what time or actual star is 
presently representing the position/ideal?  I must say , forgive me, I 
do not like the term "Nordsteorra", however.  The Region of the Northern 
Star, North Star (not Northshield), just about anything else, but 
please, not Nordsteorra...
