Hi Fearn,
did I say Basques were not European . The Basques are described thus....

"....As with their language, the Basques are clearly a distinct ethnic group in their region. They notably regard themselves as culturally and especially linguistically distinct from their surrounding neighbours...."

....and seeing that a brief definition of Ethnography is..

"......Ethnography (Greek ἔθνος ethnos = folk/people and γράφειν graphein = writing) is a research strategy often used in the social sciences, particularly in anthropology and in some branches of sociology.[1] It is often employed for gathering empirical data on human societies/cultures....."

I cannot see any reason why the post cannot remain on 'Ethnographics' ....or are you suggesting that the modern decendants of the Sioux do not have 'Ethnographic affiliations' ....now they possess US passports........

Kind Regards David
