What do you call them?

My son just noted that while we refer to ourselves as Oregonians, he had no idea what you would call someone from either Kansas or Arkansas - what are they?  Kansasians?  Kansasites? Arkansawyers?  Arkansaucians?

Locals can be pretty specific on what the proper moniker is for their people group - Anyone know?

The only thing for Kansas I have ever heard or used is Kansans. The Arkansas peeps are often Arkansans, Or Arkansawans, and both suck for pronouncing. My cousin who lived there a while refused to lose his Mississippian status because of it.
