The Great Basin is home to a large number of Basques who immigrated from their homeland between Spain and France decades ago. Gatherings are held through the year to celebrate this obscure culture.
Thank you, Jason. Yeah, most people don't even know Basques exist. They're a big part of northern Nevada ranching culture. We her they are mostly involved in sheep, but there is one ranch I've heard about that raises both sheep and cattle ... up around Elko somewhere. I appreciate your comment. Thank you.
This was fascinating! I had no idea there was such a large Basque diaspora in Californian and the Great Basin. This was a fun read.
