2 Idaho Goldback Alpha

The Idaho 2 Goldback honors the virtue Civitas, or Community, through Boise’s Basque community. In the center, a Basque woman performs a traditional hoop dance called “Uztai Txiki (Arco Dantza).” Beneath her feet is the Boise Basque cross, the locally recognized lauburu design. 

The Boise Mountains and sheep reference the daily labor of Basque immigrants who worked as sheep herders across Idaho’s open ranges. The Idaho State Capitol and the Basque Museum and Cultural Center also appear in the background. Boise is now home to one of the largest Basque communities in the United States.

Reviewed with input from representatives of the Idaho Basque Museum, this design reflects a Basque principle that fits Idaho well: “Denon artean egina, erraz egina.” What is done together is done easily.
