Arkansas Pronunciation

This is not a political attack. It has been discussed before.
What is the correct pronunciation of "Arkansas"?
The reason is SBH, during one of her speeches, called people from there "Ar-kan-sans". So why is the state "Ar-kan-saw"?

This sounds dumb
Pretty sure it's "Ar-kan-sons" and "Ar-kan-daughters."

It might be copying Kansas. Their people are Kansans.

Do you say Kansas or Kansaw? Hopefully that answered your question.

Does this mean Les Miles knew what he was talking about (in this one instance)?

Wikipedia: First paragraph explains the name
Quapaw tribe
quote:
Early French explorers gave the territory its name, a corruption of Akansea, which is a phonetic spelling from the Illinois language word for the Quapaw.

Les called Arkansas “R-Kansas” before the game in 2007 and then Arkansas got that wood and almost knocked LSU out of the national championship.
