José Ramón Cengotitabengoa is a driven man. Especially when it comes to promoting the Basque identity.
Cengotitabengoa spearheaded the movement to erect the Monument to the Basque Sheepherder in Reno, Nevada in 1989. He was also behind the building of a traditional Basque fishing boat, the Trainera Ameriketatik, which was a gift to the Basque Country from the Basques in the United States.
