Never heard of them, it's nice to know their are still some ancient tribes in Europe, although thank god the Druid faith of Ireland is making a comeback, but I am sure it's not the same as it was back then...

Basque are not Celtic people. They have a special language, not Indo-European, so ancien that it is difficult to link it with current families of languages. They live between Spain and France. Kurdish parties in Turkey are very interested on their status in Spain because they have political authonmy, their own Parliament, their language, etc. They have event the same extremists than the PKK with ETA, but ETA has less reason to subsist now because Spanish State is not a dictatorship.
