AKO DHONG VILLAGE IN BUON MA THUOT TOWN |
|
 |
|
| |
|
The Ako Dhong Village (or Co Thon), is two kilometers north of Buon Ma Thuot City, and is home to 300 inhabitants. They are all the E De and the M’Nong people. "Ako" means the original source in the E De’s language, and "Dhong" means Valley, the Valley of the original source of Ea Nhon Spring. This is a village famous for its prosperity, and is often called "The village of tile-roofed houses" or "Ama Rin Village".
Formerly Ako Dhong was a jungle. Ama Rin, the owner of the village, a native of Ea Mlai Village in M’Drak District, was among the first people who came here to set up the village. Prior to 1975, Ako Dhong Village had only three long-houses of ten households. All the villagers shared a big well, and cultivated 12ha of coffee. The villagers’ self-sufficient livelihood was based on cooperative working method and average distribution. From 1975 towards, together with the government’s policy on settlement, Ako Dhong villagers had households of smaller scale formed and a village school set up.
Apart from economic development, the villagers also pay attention to their children’s education. All their school-age children go to school. Regarding land distribution, Ako Dhong has regulated that three years after receiving a plot of land, one has to make profits on the land and pay tax to the government, generating wealth for the family and contributing to the developing of the village.
Today, Ako Dhong Village has seen many changes. Chief Ama Rin usually holds many festivals, featuring activities of singing, music performance, and traditional dances. Ama Rin also intends to develop sidelines for villagers in order to promote their living standards. However, he and villagers hope that Ako Dhong’s culture and handicraft will be preserved and developed well. The best things in Ako Dhong Village are glad to see visitors.
