  • Along the banks of the Snake River, through the passes of the Sawtooth Mountains, past the rims of the canyonlands of Southern Idaho, Eastern Oregon, and Northern Nevada, is the story of a people often overlooked in Northwestern history. The Basques have been around for generations in these areas, herding sheep and adding their vibrant culture to the beauty of the land.
    The documentary we intend to make features the Basque people, what they have done to add culture and vitality to the west, the sheep industry, and the central tension they face with keeping with their traditions and adapting to the modern world.

    I am originally from CA's San Joaquin Valley Area where there is the Basque Shepherds Community of Kern, Co. (South of my Hometown Area), but now I currently reside in Taos, NM. and I found out that there are some families that are of Spanish Basque Ancestry, such as the Aguirre's, the Arreguin's, and the Mondragon's.

    Once and old básque told me a
    Spanish Civil War story.....
    It was in the very early days of the
    War and this REQUETE battallion
    From NAVARRA which is the part of
    Spain (the old KINGDOM of Navarra
    From were today's Euzkady stems
    From)so mostly are básque speakers too....were going to the front....
    So he went on;
    US kids seing such gallant Armed
    Troops wearing their red berets
    Hailled them telling them in básque;
    Gora Chapelgorry gudariak...gora gora....Requeteak....
    When two of the soldiers left the formation and taking as kids by the
    Ear began kicking US in our back sides and when they stop hurting US they said aloud :
    This monkey silly Talk of yours is Now prohibited in our Beloved España....so Talk Castilian Spanish from Now on....understood.?
    But we only had hailed them the old básque said by shouting;
    Long live the red Beret Requeté
    Soldiers long live...long live....and he
    Smiled as he told me his childhood
    Civil war story.....

      My grandfather had several cousins that were Requetes (Carlistas) and some that went on to join the Falanges.

      From the Beggining of the Civil War in Spain General Franco ordered The unificación of the Requetés with the Falangist.
      During the Civil War the Básque people became like the rest of the Spanish people very devided themselves....
      The Región of Navarre Wholesomly stayed with Franco from the start.....as well as the Básque Province of Álava also did......
      The other 2 Básque Country Provinces ....Vizcaya and Guipúzcoa stayed Loyal to the 2nd, Spanish Repúblic.
      Franco always thought that as the Básque people were such followers of the Román Catholic faith they would all stand by his side But It wasn't so.....and the fighting and repressión during the Civil War was very harsh for the Básques as a whole.....
      The French Básques in Iparralde took no part in the Spanish Civil War.
      May God bless the Básque people....❤😮😊❤

      The diferent Regions of Spain and it's People's tend to form their own Communitties when abroad.....the Básques....the Cataláns....the Galicians.....the Asturians etc,etc always try to keep their own cultures Alive......though they all form different Associations the all respect and LOVE their Ancestral Iberian Culture from where they all stem from.

    My Basque part of the family is on my mothers father's side, Oquendo Izaguirre, from San Sebastian. My grandfather's parents left the Basque country to Cuba in the late 19 Century.

    One of my favorite really local nicer restaurants that’s been around since at least 1980s called Louie’s Basque Corner. It was family style sitting it was the coolest place my papa an Italian man knew the owners or something and my parents wedding rehearsal dinner was held there. Since Covid I’m not sure if it’s still there I hope so. I day dream about salmon I ate there literally 10 years ago lol

    You mention the first migration of the Basques with Columbus, and you mention Basques in South America. What about the Basques that migrated from south to north and settled in Northeast Mexico and South Texas up to San Antonio in the early 18th century. That is another Basque story. I am a descendant of the Basques in San Antonio, but not much is mentioned or written about Basques in Texas and that migration to that portion of the US.

    there are reparations coming. trudeau declared the french settlers and their descendants effected by the forced removals from nova scotia in the 1700s as First Nation. those benefits will never come but the declaration is bound to set off a battle in canada. cast to sea families split up, by order of the crown. from the highlands to the islands, the Basque people came thru Capbreton.

    Basques
    culture is just another Iberian culture....they have always been Spaniards, citizen's of the oldest nation state in Europe.....
    The Germánic Gothic KINGDOM
    that created Spain as we know It.
    Spaniards stem from the Celtiberia
    Meltingpot as do the Basques .
    There are French Basques too....their
    Land not being so heavely industrialised and developed as
    Spanish Euskady though.
    Franco Didn't supressed the Basques for being Basques.....they
    Were suppresed for being Republicans....just like the other Republican Regions of Spain.
    Most Troops that suppresed them were básque speaking too and
    Mostly Basques from NAVARRA .
    Which were staunchly rightwing....
    The REQUETES..fanatically spanish.
    The básque historicaly had a very
    REQUETES polítical strand.

      Basques DO NOT stem from gothic Germanic people. They were the first Neanderthals in Europe.
