California-Ko Ostatuak: a History Of 3-79 Af&ti /Jo. 281? CALIFORNIA-KO OSTATUAK: A HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA'S BASQUE HOTELS DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Jeronima (Jeri) Echeverria, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1988 Echevenia, Jeronima (Jeri), Cal^fornia-ko Ostatuak: A History of California's Basque Hotels. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May, 1988, 282 pp., 14 tables, 15 illustrations, bibliography, 512 titles. The history of California's Basque boardinghouses, or ostatuak, is the subject of this dissertation. To date, scholarly literature on ethnic boardinghouses is minimal and even less has been written on the Basque "hotels" of the American West. As a result, conclusions in this study rely upon interviews, census records, local directories, early maps, and newspapers. The first Basque boardinghouses in the United States appeared in California in the decade following the gold rush and tended to be outposts along travel routes used by Basque miners and sheepmen. As more Basques migrated to the United States, clusters of ostatuak sprang up in communities where Basque colonies had formed, particularly in Los Angeles and San Francisco during the late nineteenth century. In the years between 1890 and 1940, the ostatuak reached their zenith as Basques spread throughout the state and took their boardinghouses with them. This study outlines the earliest appearances of the Basque ostatuak, charts their expansion, and describes their present state of demise. The role of the ostatuak within Basque-American culture and a description of how they operated is another important aspect of this dissertation. Information from interviews supports the claim that the ostatua was the most important social institution among Americanuak during peak years of Basque immigration. Since a majority of the Basque sojourners who arrived before 1930 were unmarried, unable to speak English, and intended to return to the Old World within a decade of their arrival, the Basque-American often substituted his "hotel" contacts for his Old World family. At the ostatuak, he found a familiar language and cuisine, as well as an employment agency, a place to vacation, translating services, an occasional loan, explanations of his host culture, and new friends from old villages. This history of California's ostatuak is the first of its kind and encourages future research on Basque boardinghouses throughout the American West. Copyright by Jeronima (Jeri) Echeverria 1988 111 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Very few projects are independent ventures and, as I have been privileged to work with two experts on Basque-American issues, I wish to thank them publicly. Richard Etulain of the University of New Mexico gave tirelessly of his editorial skills and made this dream of mine readable. William A. Douglass, Director of the Basque Studies Program, University of Nevada, Reno, generously shared his research and expertise. Both professors honored and enhanced my work with their contributions and I am grateful. In addition, Elena Talbott, Mary Paquette, Steve Ybarrola, and Lyda Esain shared themselves and their collections graciously. Without these, and the dozens of unmentioned Amerikanuak who made researching such a joy, this history of California's ostatuak may have never been written. Eskerrikasko! (Many thanks!)

To date, even fewer studies have appeared on one of their major social institutions--the Basque hotel. The focus of this study is a history of Basque ostatuak in the state of California.1 Such an undertaking requires consideration of historical factors that brought Basques to California and influenced them after their arrival, a discussion of ostatuak in the American West, and some comparisons with other ethnic boardinghouses. Unfortunately, some of the data and materials necessary for a complete study of these hotels are lost to history. In the case of San Francisco, for example, most of the civic records were destroyed in the earthquake and fire of 1906. In addition, many of the earliest hotels began as informal boardinghouses without licensure and cannot be found in the historical record. The county of Merced, for example, did not begin filing deeds of record until 1922 by which time at least two of its earliest Basque hotels had closed. This study relies upon interviews with former hotelkeepers, employees, and hotel customers, as well as city directories, local newspapers, fire insurance maps, early state and county histories, *See appendix A for a glossary of Basque. Spanish, and French terms used throughout this work. Lengthy phrases and those that appear only once are translated within the text. deeds of record, census information, and other primary material. The verbal record speaks most directly to the social function of the Basque hotel and supports my thesis that the ostatuak, more than the family or church, functioned as the major social institution of Basques in the New World for a specific period of time. Because they were dependent upon surging Old World immigration, the peak years for Basque hotelkeeping seem to fall between 1890 and 1940. Since the 1940s, the role and function of the hotels within the Basque-American community have transformed. Interviewing provided critical information on the daily functions of the ostatuak but, unfortunately, the history of the earliest hotels has lapsed beyond human memory. Important reasons exist for focusing upon the history of California's Basque hotels. California became the major port of entry for Basques as a result of the Gold Rush and the state is believed to be the site of the first Basque hotels in North America. In addition, the golden state continues to host the largest Basque population and the greatest number of currently functioning hotels. These factors make California a primary target for an initial study of Basque ostatuak. At the same time, one should realize that to some extent the use of California is at best a heuristic device. Delineating the history and nature of California's Basque hotels is useful as a method of discovery but can neither be automatically accepted as a model for all Basque hotels nor can it be taken as identical in nature to hotels in other areas of the United States. A general knowledge of Basque behavior in the American West and of Basque migration patterns within the United States indicates that Basques themselves have been relatively unaware of state borderlines. That is, a Basque from Bakersfield who visited a Reno hotel in 1932 is not likely to have noticed substantial differences in that hotel merely because he had crossed a state line. Another point critical to any discussion of Euskaldunak is the boundary line that divides them in Spain and France. A student of the Basques must decide whether he or she will follow the lead of the Basques and ignore Spanish and French viewpoints and distinctions. Except in the cases where it is impossible or where provincial sentiments affect the hotels in the New World, I will attempt to do as other Basques do and use a Basque perspective in both Old and New World settings. To speak of Basque hotels in the present tense is a bit of an anachronism. In the past four decades, the Basque ostatuak of the American West have evolved into scaled-down versions of their former selves. The few that remain as ethnic boardinghouses no longer function in the full capacities of an earlier era. In addition, the observer should note that when a Basque uses the word "hotel" for one of these boardinghouses, he is applying the term to a complex set of social functions familiar to members of his community.

  • THE EXPLORERS by Richard F. Pourade CHAPTER ONE: BEFORE
    THE EXPLORERS By Richard F. Pourade CHAPTER ONE: BEFORE THE EXPLORERS San Diego was a well populated area before the first Spanish explorers arrived. The climate was wetter and perhaps warmer, and the land more wooded than now. The remnant of a great inland lake covered most of Imperial Valley. The San Diego River wandered back and forth over the broad delta it had formed between Point Loma and Old Town, alternately emptying into Mission Bay and San Diego Bay. The natural food supply was so abundant that the state as a whole supported an Indian population far greater than any equal area in the United States. The native population of the southern counties alone must have been at least 10,000. The early maps made of San Diego Bay by the Spanish explorers show the same general configuration as of today, except, of course, for the many changes in the shoreline made by dredging and filling in recent years. The maps, crudely drawn without proper surveys, vary considerably in detail. Thousands of years ago, in the late part of the Ice Age, Point Loma was an island, as were Coronado and North Island. Coronado used to be known as South Island. There was no bay, as we think of it now. A slightly curving coastline was protected by the three islands, of which, of course, Point Loma was by far the largest. What we now know as Crown Point in Mission Bay was a small peninsula projecting into the ocean. On the mainland, the San Diego and Linda Vista mesas were one continuous land mass.

  • How Can a Modern History of the Basque Country Make Sense? on Nation, Identity, and Territories in the Making of Spain
    HOW CAN A MODERN HISTORY OF THE BASQUE COUNTRY MAKE SENSE? ON NATION, IDENTITY, AND TERRITORIES IN THE MAKING OF SPAIN JOSE M. PORTILLO VALDES Universidad del Pais Vasco Center for Basque Studies, University of Nevada (Reno) One of the more recurrent debates among Basque historians has to do with the very object of their primary concern. Since a Basque political body, real or imagined, has never existed before the end of the nineteenth century -and formally not until 1936- an «essentialist» question has permanently been hanging around the mind of any Basque historian: she might be writing the histo- ry of an non-existent subject. On the other hand, the heaviness of the «national dispute» between Basque and Spanish identities in the Spanish Basque territories has deeply determined the mean- ing of such a cardinal question. Denying the «other's» historicity is a very well known weapon in the hands of any nationalist dis- course and, conversely, claiming to have a millenary past behind one's shoulders, or being the bearer of a single people's history, is a must for any «national» history. Consequently, for those who consider the Spanish one as the true national identity and the Basque one just a secondary «decoration», the history of the Basque Country simply does not exist or it refers to the last six decades. On the other hand, for those Basques who deem the Spanish an imposed identity, Basque history is a sacred territory, the last refuge for the true identity. Although apparently uncontaminated by politics, Basque aca- demic historiography gently reproduces discourses based on na- - 53 - ESPANA CONTEMPORANEA tionalist assumptions.

  • National Origin (Mis)Identification Among Latinos in the 2000 Census: the Growth of the “Other Hispanic Or Latino” Category
    National Origin (Mis)Identification Among Latinos in the 2000 Census: The Growth of the “Other Hispanic or Latino” Category. Matt A. Barreto University of California, Irvine Harvard Journal of Hispanic Policy Volume 15, June 2003 Abstract. The 2000 Census revealed unprecedented population growth among Latinos in the United States with the total Latino population growing to over 35 million. However, the census also revealed its inability to accurately count and distinguish between countries of ancestry among the Latino population. Over fifteen percent of all Latinos living in the United States indicated “other Hispanic or Latino” when asked for specific country of origin for their family heritage. This misclassification has lead many groups of Latinos to question the validity and accuracy of the census instrument, and has frustrated others, expecting to find big gains in their population. Using data from the Census 2000 Summary File 1 (SF1) I model identification as “other” Latino at the county level. Not surprising, I find that Dominicans, Colombians, Salvadorans, and Guatemalans were among the top nationalities miscounted by the 2000 census. In sum, nearly 2 million Central and South Americans were misidentified by the census putting their numbers and clout in question. Through OLS regression analysis I can identify which groups are most misrepresented and what regional variations exist. This research holds great promise not just for advocacy groups, eager to see a more accurate count of their population, but also for policy makers responsible
