Aragoneses in the western United States

Growing up in San Francisco, we sometimes ate in family-style Basque restaurants. I later learned that Basques had immigrated to California and the West to work as shepherds, but didn't know much about this history of three generations. As it turns out, now Basques in California own the herds, and immigrants from other countries such as Chile or Mongolia are hired to do to do this hard, lonely work (see these pictures in a BBC feature). Since 2001, laws have been put in place to ensure minimum pay and better living conditions, and herding sheep continues to compete with other land uses for water and resources.
A little know chapter of this history is that a smaller number of immigrants from the Pyrenees came from Alto Aragón, the villages of the northern mountains of Aragón, between the '30s and the '70s. Like the Basque-speaking immigrants from Spain, they too settled in the United States. Carlos Tarazona has filmed a documentary called "Borreguerros" in which 18 of them (including a man who has just turned 100!) tell their stories. The film will premier in Ansó, one of the towns from which they came, according to this story in El Heraldo de Aragón. Here's a clip (h/t Purnas)
In the category of "I did not know that" also falls the fact that the breed of dog known as the Australian shepherd is actually a dog bred by Basque shepherds in U.S. that then was brought to Australia.
