Abstract

For the past two decades, John Bieter, a professor of history, a descendent of Basque immigrants and the son of Pat Bieter, who established the Basque Studies program at Boise State in the 1970s, has searched for Basque arborglyphs. He has cataloged thousands.

Bieter created the Arborglyph Collective, a Boise State partnership with the University of Nevada, Reno, and California State University, Bakersfield, fellow universities known for their Basque Studies programs. Arborglyphs exist across the West, making collaboration among academic institutions vital, said Iñaki Arrieta Baro, head of the Jon Bilbao Basque Library at University of Nevada, Reno. The phenomenon of arborglyphs is not currently well known in the Basque Country, but as European interest in the Basque diaspora grows, so will the importance of arborglyphs, he added.
