  • Pete Cenarrusa: "First Basque, Then Republican"
    LEHENDAKARITZA PRESIDENCIA Kanpoan den Euskal Dirección para Komunitatearentzako Zuzendaritza la Comunidad Vasca en el Exterior PETE CENARRUSA: "FIRST BASQUE, THEN REPUBLICAN" Following the passing of Pete Cenarrusa this past Sunday, September 29, there have been numerous testimonies of memories and affection for a person who has made a significant mark on the Basque community in the United States. In this regard, I recall with great emotion the wonderful evening I had the pleasure of sharing with Pete and his wife, Freda, last February in Boise, on my first trip to the United States as Director of the Basque Government for the Basque Community Abroad. Having followed the evolution of American politics for decades from the Basque Country, for me it was a chance in a lifetime to converse for several hours with such an outstanding personality who worked tirelessly from Idaho for peace and freedom of the Basque people he loved so much. During this encounter we reviewed his extensive political career and a phrase that Pete used to define himself struck me so powerfully: "first Basque, then Republican". Indeed, a political figure of Pete’s stature, who had been an influential leader of the Republican Party, a member of the Idaho House of Representatives for nine consecutive legislative terms, Speaker of the House for three of them, 36 years as Idaho Secretary of State, and having been the longest serving elected official in the history of his home State prioritized his status as Basque above all else. His deep interest in the peace and freedom of the Basque people began to take shape at a very early age.

Surface area 5 700 ha Protection status ZEC-NATURA 2000 (FR7200760) Other regional or national protections Natural Zone of Ecological Interest, Zone of Importance for Bird Preservation. Main uses Agricultural and livestock, forestry. Tourism is very important, with several hiking routes. Ownership Mainly public Habitats targeted by LIFE (4030) Dry European heath, (6430) Hydrophilous tall herb fringe communities (7110) active high fens, (7120) degraded high fens capable of natural regeneration, (7140) transition mires, (7150) Depressions on peat substrates of the Rhynchosporion, (7230) low alkaline fens This ZEC is considered one of the natural monuments in the Atlantic Pyrenees department. From the 905-metre altitude of Mount Larrun, there is a 360º panoramic view of Euskadi, the Landes, Navarre and the Atlantic Ocean, making the site an important touristic centre with a massive affluence of visitors. In fact, this zone has been frequented since pre-historic times, as shown by its wealth of burial mounds, stone circles and dolmens. The nearby Sara caves and Rhune touristic cog train propitiate the presence of tourists in the zone all year long. The climate is Atlantic, due to the ocean's proximity to it, with abundant precipitation year-round. 66% of the surface area is occupied by mountain pastures, and 25% by deciduous forests. Marshes and fens are also present in the area. Of the 30 natural habitats described in this site, 22 are on the list of community interest, and seven of them are considered priority.

  • Matching National Stereotypes? Eating and Drinking in the Basque Borderland
    A. Leizaola: Matching national stereotypes? Eating and drinking in the Basque borderland Matching national stereotypes? Eating and drinking in the Basque borderland Aitzpea Leizaola University of the Basque Country, [email protected] ABSTRACT: Focusing on tourism practices, this article discusses the role of food in the construction and reconstruction of identities and stereotypes in the Basque borderland. Borderlands, as places where national identities meet and perceptions of otherness merge, offer an interest- ing perspective on how identities are enacted. In the Basque Country, food in general and Basque cuisine in particular are considered significant markers of identity as well as hall- marks of tradition. Now a major tourist destination, thousands of Spaniards come to the Basque Country to enjoy the tastes of the much-praised Basque cuisine. At the same time, many French tourists come to the Basque borderland in search of Spanish experiences, including food. Thus, border tourism provides differing representations of this issue. Draw- ing from ethnographic data, different examples of the ways in which specific dishes and drinks come to conform to stereotypes of national identities will be presented. The analysis of food consumption patterns and their symbolic representation in the borderland offers a stimulating context in which to study how these images match stereotypes of national identity, but also contribute to the creation of new aspects of identity. KEY WORDS: food and identity, national stereotypes, border, tourism, Basque cuisine. Introduction Food plays a central role in the construction of identities. Both cooking and food con- sumption have long been considered identity markers to the point that some scholars talk of ‘alimentary identities’ (Bruegel and Laurioux 2002).
