I SAW A MOVIE IN 1959 ABOUT THE BASQUE , THE NAME WAS " THUNDER IN THE SUN ". IT WAS A WESTERN THE BASQUE IMAGRANTS WERE TRYING TO GET TO CALIFORNIA BY WAGON TRAIN AND BRINGING GRAPE VINES TO START VINYARDS MOVIE TIME FRAME CIRC 1847 . I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT WAS AT ALL ACCURATE AS TO BASQUE BELIEFS BUT IT WAS ENTERTAINING. THEIR WAR CRY AND USE OF A HI-LIE HAND PIECE TO THROW ROCKS WHEN FIGHTING INDIANS WAS UNIQUE. THE ONLY OTHER THING I KNOW ABOUT THEM IS THEY ARE ADEPT AT CATCHING PUFFIN BIRDS WITH NETS FOR DINNER.
