He says that the DNA of Basque and the tribes of the SE United States are very similar. He belives that the Basque may have been part of the people from this region.

This was a common phrase used by basque fishermen when they were asked this way. "Zer moduz?" (How are you) and the answer was "Apaizak hobeto".(the priests are better than me). So it does not sound impossible to me this genetic connection. You can find more about this in : www.albaola.com/index.php?idioma=en Ikusi arte.

This would make sense. Anyone has infos about this?? Thanks!/Merci ! S.
