* Origins: The Basque people are an indigenous group from the Basque Country, a region straddling the border between Spain and France. They have a unique language and culture that is distinct from other European groups.
* American Indians: American Indians (also known as Native Americans) are indigenous peoples of the Americas, whose ancestors migrated to the Americas from Asia thousands of years ago.
While there are some similarities in cultural practices and the preservation of pre-agricultural traditions between the Basques and some Native American groups, they are not related in terms of ancestry or origin.
There are theories about the origins of the Basque people, but none definitively link them to any specific group in the Americas.
