Why do we say Arkansas?

Why do we say Arkansas?

Arkansas was named for the French plural of a Native American tribe, while Kansas is the English spelling of a similar one. Since the letter "s" at the end of French words is usually silent, we pronounce Bill Clinton's home state "Arkansaw." It's the English spelling though, so naturally, we pronounce the final "s."
