Kaw is known by many names, notably Kansa, Konze, Kanza, and Kansas.
Perhaps Kansa is the familiar term to you.  Growing up in Osage country, a
little ways from Kaw City, I always heard the word Kaw.  I try to use the
word Kansa, though, because it's much closer to the way it used to be said:
kkaN'ze or kkaN:'ze.
