Definitions
An Ozarkite is someone who hails from the Ozarks — the rugged plateau region spanning southern Missouri, northern Arkansas, and parts of Oklahoma and Kansas. The word carries a strong sense of regional pride and identity for people from this part of the American heartland. It can also sometimes be used by outsiders in a slightly stereotyping way, though locals often wear the label with pride given the area's rich folk culture, music traditions, and natural beauty.
As a proud Ozarkite, she made sure every summer was spent hiking the bluffs and floating the rivers back home.
