Summary

The significance of the Euzkaldunak Incorporated Boise Basque Center, as an agglutinating variable in the Idaho Basque community cannot be overstated. In the following article I summarize the development of Basque institutions and associations in Boise, Idaho USA, and examine the contemporary manifestations of diasporic Basque identity in the Jai Aldi 2000 International Basque Festival. Fieldwork statistics were gathered from 1995-2000 including 348 personal interviews and 832 written anonymous questionnaires.
