<p>Edith and Adele Fisk are Western Shoshone from Battle Mountain, NV and are currently residing in Elko, NV. Edith and Adele speak about the history of Battle Mountain while they were growing up. They speak about their families and what it was like growing up in a segregated town. For instance, they spoke about how trivial it was speaking a different language at home versus at school. Although, they do speak about how their teacher watched over them like a parent. They also recall their parents’ and grandparents’ stories which referred to contact between the Western Shoshone, emigrants, and U.S. Calvary soldiers as well as the traditional Shoshone tales. They also speak about their genealogy as well as how contact has contributed to the degradation of the Western Shoshonean culture and how doing oral histories and recording stories will help younger generations keep up the Shoshonean culture.</p>

A Basque-American Fairytale
<p>Inspired by the simple question asked by a godchild at bedtime, Vince Juaristi ponders why the Basque have become by a multitude of measures one of the most successful immigrant communities in the United States. He identifies four key factors which explain in part the Basque success: <span>Basque cohesion, a strong work ethic, frugality, and an independent spirit.</span></p>
<p>Part of the <a title="Intertwined: Basques and Americans Crossing Paths collection" href="/omeka/collections/show/26" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Intertwined</a> series of articles celebrating Basque and American Encounters in conjunction with the <a title="Smithsonian Institute's 2016 Folklife Festival" href="http://www.festival.si.edu/2016/basque/smithsonian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Smithsonian's 2016 Folklife Festival</a>.</p>
