Description
Way to DNA research, the Basques of the Pyrenees Mountains are not the “mystery folks.” Thirty-five thousand years ago, they traveled from Central Asia to Western Europe, where they still are living, speaking a language unlike some other. After helping Columbus discover The united states, Basques spread out from the Pampas to California and beyond into the Sierra and Reno, Nevada. For a century, they were the sheepherders of the West and documented their lives in a prehistoric means on trees. Now settled in towns, they celebrate their heritage annually with colorful costumes, dancing, weight lifting, wooden chopping, and hearty food that endures of their popular restaurants.
