Euskadi also known as the Basque land, which runs fom northern spain up into the southern coast of France, has been symbolized for years now bythe Tree of Gernka. This tree has come to symbolize the Basque freedoms as well as the defence for the freedoms of the Basque people the tree comes from a basque custom of gathering under a tree to discuss and decide on a community issue. The tree how ever is directly traced to an oak tree in the parish of lumo where laws were drafted for many centuries. This symbol has represnted the fight for Bosque autonmy and been the main idea of what type of government hopes to achieve. The Bosquepeople feel like they have not been represented in the new age spanih government and hope to achieve autonomy to better represent their interests. They believe much in the story of the Tree of Gernka which is the story of a parish who would right lies accordding to a delegation of two represenatives sent by each group who wanted to be heard. The symbol still carries weight in the Bosque country and may continue to for some time.
