		In the aftermath of the French Revolution the three provinces of the French Basque Country were eliminated and their territories and populations absorbed into the mostly Francophone département of Pyrénées-Atlantique.

	Basque nationalism undermined by ETA , by Barbara Loyer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		They demanded that "the Basque people" be allowed to "freely determine its future" and offered a cease-fire in exchange for an unconditional amnesty for all ETA members held in Spanish prisons and the departure of "Spanish armed forces" from the Basque country.
		Second, the basic tenets of that ideology, which concern the limits of Basque national territory and the definition of the national community, are highly controversial and strongly disputed by part of the Basque population itself.
		At the outset, Basque nationalism was thus a racist, extreme-Catholic, separatist doctrine that postulated the existence of an ethnic community distinct from the Spanish and French and portrayed the Basque problem as a conflict between nations.

		In 1936 the Basque Autonomous Government (whose Lehendakari —president— was José Antonio Agirre) was created, with representation of all the democratic parties, and the Ikurriña was declared by law the Basque flag.
		The Ikurriña is the symbol of the Basques of Euskadi (under Spanish rule), Iparralde (under French rule), Navarre (under Spanish-French rule) and foreign residents in America, Europe and Australia (the Ikurriña is in the flag of Saint Pierre and Miquelon).
		The ikurriña was designed by the Biscay brothers Sabino and Luis Arana for the province of Biscay, and it derives from the Biscay coat-of-arms (the red field is from the ancient Biscay flag, the white cross from the argent cross of the coat-of-arms [which shows behind the tree] and the green saltire from the tree).

	Bastarache dit Basque family (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Acadian star/flag probably symbolises the fact that the family ancestor, Jean Bastarache dit le Basque, born around 1658 in Bayonne (French Basque country), arrived in the 1680s in Port-Royal Acadie and that several descendants still live in the Canadian Maritimes.
		The blue fleur-de-lys on white probably represents the descendants of the refugees who settled in Quebec after the 1755 deportation and the green lauburu on red is an obvious reference to the family nom dit (nickname) "dit Basque" and Basque origin.
		There are also descendants in Louisiana, so perhaps the star and fleur-de-lys also refers to them, since these two emblems are on the Cajun flag/flag of Acadia.
