The Lonesome Trail: Arborglyphs and Basque Sheepherders in the Far West Exhibit In-Person
The Lonesome Trail: Arborglyphs and Basque Sheepherders in the Far West Exhibit
Many people in the far west are familiar with Basque culture through their unique cuisine and serving style in the few restaurants spread across the region and through festivals held in mostly rural parts of the state. However, few know Basque-American history. Scholars are only now becoming aware of the unique opportunities they now have to see the past communicated through arborglyphs (tree carvings left by Basque and Peruvian Sheepherders). The Basque arborglyphs are a window into the thoughts and creative impulses of a unique immigrant community. The exhibit's goal is to share that communication and its meaning with a broader community.
