Minister of Culture Visit

The minister for Culture and spokesperson for the Basque government, Miren Azkarate, visited Boise in May. She toured Boise with members of the Basque community including John Bieter and Joseba Chertudi of the Cenarrusa Center for Basque Studies and members of different departments of the government of Euskadi who accompanied her on her trip. In the photograph below they are visiting the Ann Frank Human Rights Memorial.



At the Basque Museum and Cultural Center she gave a presentation about strengthening the place of Euskera, the native lanquage of the Basques. Azkarate also visited the only Ikastola (school) teaching the Basque language outside the Basque country and met with the President of Boise State University.



During her meeting with Dr. Bob Kustra of Boise State, pictured above with Pete Cenarrusa and Joseba Chertudi of the Cenarrusa Center for Basque Studies board, they discussed the formation of a Basque Studies program and integration with the Cenarrusa Center for Basque Studies.
