Community, defense, and industry describe how the Basque people have lived and continue to survive to this day.

Specifically, the Basque people inhabit the area on both sides of the border separating southwestern France from northwestern Spain. They perpetuate their unique identity and language through strong senses and systems of community economically based on industrious involvement in farming, fishing, herding, and small-scale enterprises. Chroniclers and recognize additionally recognize the defensive and military skills of the Basque people since ancient and medieval times: for example, ancestors of the Basque people defeated Charlemagne's (742-814) commander Roland (died August 14, 778) during the historic Battle of Roncevaux Pass.
