Basque Museum Volunteer Workshop
2026-02-21 11:00 - 13:00 (America/Boise)
Calling all Volunteers! We are looking for dedicated individuals to join us in our mission to promote, preserve, and perpetuate Basque history and culture!
Join us February 21 at 11am to learn how to be a docent, school tour guide, or gift store clerk. We will have a fun and informative presentation of what you need to know to get started as a tour guide or a refresher for our old pros. The education team is excited to add new faces to our volunteer community so do not hesitate to show up and check it out!
Note: All current volunteers are encouraged to attend the workshop. We will be training on the new Komunitatea exhibit and a new volunteer sign up system. Anyone who is not trained on the new exhibit will need to shadow the education team before leading a tour of the museum.
Refreshments served!

Preserving the Basque Arborglyphs of Idaho
2026-03-05 18:00 - 20:00
Are you interested in learning more about the history of arborglyphs? Or maybe looking for a more active way to participate in the Basque community through your love of the outdoors? If so, mark your calendars for Thursday March 5 at 6pm for a presentation on preserving Basque arborglyphs by Dr. John Bieter and BSU graduate student, Joseph Nigro!
These tree carvings provide insight into the lives sheepherders led while working in isolated mountain ranges across the American West. With changes in grazing practices, increasingly frequent wildfires, and the natural aging of trees, these carvings are at threat of beings lost forever. That is where you come into play! Learn more about the work being done by Lertxun-marrak: The Arborglyph Collaborative to document and digitize arborglyphs across the West, and how you can help locate, document, and preserve these carvings!
Free Event. Everyone welcome.
