This photo taken July 1, 2007, shows junior Arinak Basque Dancer Landon Drake watching and waits with his stuffed bear on his back to dance during the 44th National Basque Festival at Elko City Park in Elko, Nev. Their numbers may be small, but Basques and their descendants have left an indelible mark on Nevada _ so much so that the theme of the 34th National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko is “Basques & Buckaroos: Herding Cultures of Basin, Range and Beyond.” “They really have played a huge role in the American West in ranching culture, in herding culture,” said Meg Glaser, artistic director of the Western Folklife Center, organizer of the six-day annual festival, which starts Monday. It’s a natural fit considering many Basques came to the West to work as sheepherders, just as they have for generations in the Basque country in the Pyrenees Mountains of southwestern Europe. Today, about 5,390 Basques live in Nevada, mostly in the central and northern parts. (Ross Andreson/The Daily Free Press via AP)
