Basque Whalers & Southern Inuit: Worlds in Collision or Collaboration?

[@iparipaitegianiparipaitegi4643]

It looks like that man doesn’t have real knowledge about the Basques. Which is weird for a university conference. He affirms several time that the Basques live in Northern Spain. The Basques also live in South West France. When Cesar invaded Gaul in ca 50 BC, he recognized that South of the Garonne river they weren’t Celtic tribes, but Aquitanians (proto Basques). Many whalers hunting around Labrador/New Foundland came from the North of the Pyrenees: Saint Jean de Luz-Ciboure, Biarritz….

Since 1539, France imposed the french lenguage on all its inhabitants, starting with the Villers-Cotterêts order. Due to this distintive basque identiy was erased from France year by year. So at that time basques were from Basque Country in Nothern Spain. French basques if any, were already french. Anyways most of the whaling expeditions departed from spanish ports, that is the reason that the only written accounts of that period and inudstry were found in a spanish archive by the researcher that this gentelman refers to in the video.

Note: The arrows of migration, I believe, are in the wrong rotation and direction. Yes, rotation and direction. I believe the origins of the ancient ancestors of Inupiat were not from Asia. Blood type and technology are my basis.

Great to see you Billy! Last time was at Howard Johnson's parking lot, Burlington, when I handed (The late, Great) Mike Maple a gym bag full of $100 bills and then held my breath for an hour and a half. Like you said, It was all about keeping your word. Sorry to hear about Steve, just this morning I read the obit. As ever, Freddy B.

There were reported ''Blonde Eskimo'' people in northern Canada, specifically from Victoria Island. I wish to know if this was true. Maybe it was a small group of Vikings moving inland and mixing with some Inuit or Eskimo tribes?

The expert anwsered that same quesiton in the video. He said it is not true. There werent blonde skimos, its just a myth and DNA proves it.
