Songbird and Thin Kaboudit are both wrong. The basques are a western subrace of the mediterranean european subrace. They are no more related to native americans than any other europeans. While the basques are the only europeans that do not speak an aryan (aka indo-european) language, they are hardly the only non-aryans. Although a substantial number of racial aryans DID migrate through europe, the aryan language was adopted, modified, and spread by many non-aryans, and it is those many non-aryan groups that are responsible for the diversity of the aryan languages. Thus, the basques are no more indigenous than most europeans. By the way, the aryans most likely did not come from the caucasus; their most likely place of origin is northwestern Afghanistan.

The Basques are what is left of the ancient Neolithic peoples who colonised Europe before the coming of the Indo-Europeans (the Celts, Germanics, Latins, Gauls--basically, everyone in Europe from historic times to the present), which makes them the "native Europeans" of Europe (the Indos came from an area called teh Caucasus mountains).
I saw a genetics show where a fullblood native American was genetically linked to a fullblood Greek. We are all related whether we like it or not.
I have heard quite a bit about the Lumbi tribe from the coasts of southern Virginia; apparently they had blue eyes and blonde hair and it's assumed that the remnants of the first Jamestown colony were absorbed by them.

The Basques were probably the Vikings (or some who got left behind there after a Viking trip down to Spain), and I know the Viking went cod-fishing off the East Coast long before Columbus "discovered" North America, so I can't imagine they didn't "enjoy" a few native American girls, but I don't know a specific tribe...

OOOHHH!
I KNOW THIS!!!
NOBODY!
No American Indian Nations are traditionally genetically linked to the Basque. Maybe there is some intermarriage these days, but we're from the US originally, and they are from Spain, soooooo....
