You might say that, for a time, they Basqued in the light of a false heritage...
Guess their dreams of nationalism will have to wait.
I’m fairly sure that’s all that was going on with this in the first place, and that the fakes were part of the overall operation.

America B.C.A fascinating letter I received from a Shoshone Indian who had been traveling in the Basque country of Spain tells of his recognition of Shoshone words over there, including his own name, whose Shoshone meaning proved to match the meaning attached to a similar word by the modern Basques. Unfortunately I mislaid this interesting letter. If the Shoshone scholar who wrote to me should chance to see these words I hope he will forgive me and contact me again. The modern Basque settlers of Idaho may perhaps bring forth a linguist to investigate matters raised in this chapter. [p 173]

Don’t put all your Eggs in one Basquet nor all your Basques in one Exit.
Later on when the same Celtic overlords invaded Ireland and took numerous Basque people with them (so many that they swamped the local genome) they made sure the Basque language was totally suppressed and that everyone spoke what became Irish.
I’m no big fan of the Basques either way and eschew their methods but there exists today in academia are strong presence of folks who live to squash any nationalistic reference.
Nationalism today is equated with facism.
Basque has always interested me. I have read the language might be related to Georgian, Chechen Inuit, Navajo, and Apache. It would not surprise me if Welsh and Gaelic has Basque influence. Famous Basques are:
Ignatius of Loyola
Francis Xavier
Simón Bolívar
Evita Peron
Princess Maxmima of Netherlands
Augusto Pinochet
Ernesto “Che” Guevara
Ted Williams
Cristina Saralegui-Cristina on Univision

I met Barry Fell 30 some years ago at a conference. Interesting guy, I can’t say I buy into all his theories. Some of his Ogam translations seem to be wishful thinking. However the one thing I do agree with is “classical history education” sells ancient short when it comes to their ability to do things like travel! You don’t need Martians to explain what ancient people did. You just have to imagine that Man is very clever even if he’s carrying a stone tipped spear.
And I have both his books!
I think he’s been dead for quite awhile.
I exchanged a few letters with him back in, hmm the early- to mid-80s, very smart, easy to understand, courteous, and obviously a polymath. Besides his three books (beginning with "America B.C.") he had loads of papers in the ESOP (Epigraphic Society Occasional Publications) that were interesting. He grew up in New Zealand and was welcome among the various indigenous groups, and has indeed been dead a while now.
I subscribed to this “...ESOP (Epigraphic Society Occasional Publications) ” at one time. I may still have an old copy squirreled away somewhere.
The Nazis were notorious for faking archaeological discoveries meant to validate their Aryan Master Race theories.
