    I swear these people, when it came time to name their state, said “We want to be called Kansas!” But there’s already a state called Kansas.

    Okay then, how about “Our Kansas”?

    I guess we can work with that.

      1: Arkansas is older than Kansas

      2: Both are clearly native words.

      3: They actually might be accidentally related as a result.

      4: Lol, they are. Both roughly mean “The South Wind,” and were a name for a tribe in the area. Those dummies used a different spelling of the same word…
