The Nevada 2 Goldback features the virtue Harmonia, or Harmony, honoring the Indigenous Washoe people. Lake Tahoe is the geographical and spiritual center of the Washoe tribe, whose homeland stretches across the Sierra Nevada and surrounding valleys of present-day Nevada and California. Traditionally, families gathered at the lake each spring and summer to harvest fish and reinforce tribal connections.

Fishing at Lake Tahoe required the effort of the entire community. During spawning runs, families established large fishing camps, while younger members carried catches back to elders and children remaining in valley settlements. Native Lahontan cutthroat trout provided a vital seasonal food source. They were harvested with traditional tools made from willow, bone, and plant fibers, including harpoons, spears, nets, traps, weirs, platforms, and stream diversions.

In the artwork, Harmonia treads through crystal-clear water carrying a willow basket trap woven in an open-twined technique. Behind her, children fish with a trap and spear near traditional Washoe homes, known as Galis Dungals. In the UV-reactive layer, cutthroat trout swim beneath the surface of the water, while an elk bugles in the background.

The Washoe practiced careful stewardship of the fishery, avoiding overharvesting to ensure fish could reproduce. They believed that caring for the land and water was a responsibility to the community and future generations. To echo their harmonious traditions, the enduring principle along the bottom reads: “Live in Balance”
