Some say the true West was built on the backs of the Basque sheepmen. They came to a hard country that was still making up its mind about what it was going to be, still defining itself. They chipped out some kind of life from the dirt and mountains and desert. They left tracks in our sand. Idaho Public Television brings you West of the Basque, a one-hour documentary on the Basque in Idaho. We trace the lines of history through the generations, from the early days as herders to the prominent spot the descendants of Basque immigrants hold in Idaho today.
