I also want to say hello to those of who are newer to the tribe! My name is Lara and I am Cliftons' daughter. I would love to learn to speak Basque, not an easy language to learn since they don't exactly have programs you can buy at Best Buy or many fluent people in Central Texas to teach me! Any suggestions??

You can visit Bayonne, the capital of lapurdi, but as well cambo and arnaga house, Bidarray a very typicall town (about 30km from bayonne), Baigorry and Saint Jean Pied de Port (donibane garazi) with tha traditionnals activities, as well visit the Irouleguy wine land and patxaran's, in Baxe-Nafarroa... but be carefull if you drive a car... ;) In Xiberua, interesting land, because the speaking is really differtent as the other 6 provincies... in xiberua, you don't speak euskara... it sounds like, that you sing it. You can visit Mauléon (maule), olzarte bridge and kakueta canion. But if you want to have a good view of iparralde, come to visit me... jejejejee... i'm going to show you all these places... don't worry... i'm married and have 3 children... jajaja... i know, the proposition by internet can be suspect... but it is a sincerely proposition. I'll be near bilbao, in gatika, the 4th of march. We do a lunch with all the basques of the basque country who went to boise, at the jaialdi last july. You can join me (and all others, because the message will be on internet) at 00 33 668 72 76 32. laster arte eta zure berrien zain. You can ask to juliette, i'he never bite anyone. agur bero bat iparraldetik Wed, 15 Feb 2006 15:09:46 GMT http://BasquePride.tribe.net/thread/f7bf78ba-9468-4fa8-84b6-b3b5d7159e5f#762cc2fe-8eb3-4686-aeca-599387965a87 benoit 2006-02-15T15:09:46Z http://BasquePride.tribe.net/thread/f7bf78ba-9468-4fa8-84b6-b3b5d7159e5f#4a634aee-8f21-4469-b2af-1a7355fae0eb Aupa Benoit!

Cases and word order (some of the things English only speakers often find difficult with the language) became very intuitive. I listened to any basque music I could, talked with Nekane in class and after, and went to bars all around Alde Zaharra practicing as much as I could. I had two great intercambios as well that helped immensely. I found that, as with any language, if you give yourself no choice and just talk without abandon, it finds its way into your mouth, body, and thought. It's in the food, in the music, and in the street. Textbooks can make it so boring- but then again, a basque course book always has my attention. Agur.

My name is Jesse. I went to Donostia five years ago to study Euskera (Batua). I was taught by a wonderful woman named Nekane Castillo, whose enthusiasm and joy for everything basque was inspiring. It was perhaps the best three months of my life. My basque has been faltering since then, but hopefully with practice.... I plan to go back next year for a few weeks, and eventually to a barnetegia, maybe the one in Lesaka or maybe Sara. (Lesaka is my first choice.)

There seems to be a lot of Basque in SF, or even California. i am sure there is a reason for this, but it's weird. i have yet to knowingly meet a Basque up here in Canada.i am very close to Lake Ontario, and the St. Lawrence River, where the Basque used to cod fish centuries before. there are a couple of ports/islands named after them in the river mouth, and they even settled here long enough to have a linguistic influence on the Huron Nation long before Columbus felt the travelling itch. but yet, no Basques as far as i know. but be sure of this: if i find one.. i will send him to this online tribe! welcome friend!

The concept of a potential govt coverup is disturbing, but given the world today, I would not rule anything out. The subject of Radiation is also concerning in the sense that you do not have to be an unaware victim of some government experiment. You just have to be one of the many using cell phones, cordless phones, wireless networks, microwaves, etc. Thank goodness for LCD's replacing CRT's!!

Soon after the events you mentioned she died in 1988 (11/1) in a mysterious day time single car accident on Hwy 101, between Santa Rosa and Healdsburg, CA. Other internet sites have wondered if she perhaps was a victim of a conspiracy similar to Karen Silkwood... Our family hired an accident reconstruction expert but no "smoking gun" was found. In a hundred years the truth about all of the "black bag" operations to suppress the truth about the dangers of radiation caused by the US government and corporate directed and protected criminals will be known, I hope! I had no idea that there were so many Legarretas! Thank you for your interest and for reading her book. She was very proud of her Basque heritage as are her children, she had 10, 9 survive and miss her a lot! She was amazing and made a difference!

In 1982, while examining the papers of Joseph Hamilton -- the scientist in charge of radiation experiments at the University of California -- at the library of the University of California at Berkeley, she comes across a 1950 memo written to Shields Warren, then director of the Atomic Energy Commission's Division of biology and medicine. The memo advised that large primates -- chimpanzees, for example -- be substituted for humans in the planned studies on radiation's cognitive effects (the very same program of experimentation that Dr. Saenger was to execute). The use of humans, Hamilton wrote, might leave the AEC open "to considerable criticism," since the experiments as proposed had "a little of the Buchenwald touch." After Legarreta finds the so-called Buchenwald memo, Hamilton's papers are removed from public access by University of California administrators. Soon after this, Legarreta files a Freedom of Information Act request with the Department of Energy, asking for all documents concerning experiments in which humans were intentionally exposed to radioactive materials through injection or ingestion. Later that year, NARS receives a two-foot-high carton of documents in response -- documents that, for the first time, expose the widespread human experimentation program of the U.S. government.

My grandfather, Raimundo Legarreta came to America to be a shepard in Nevada about 1916 or 1917. He severly injured a leg and came to SF for medical attention and rehab. While there he must have heard about the big money to be made by poultry farming in Sonoma County. I now live on what was his very successful hatchery near Cotati, CA. My mother Dorothea (Dorothy) wrote a book THE GUERNICA GENERATION (1984, U of Nev. Press) about the Basque children sent out of Spain during the "Spanish Civil War" in the 1930s for their safety and survival. I and my 8 brothers and sisters strongly identify with our Basque heritage!
