Làng Nghề Đan Lát M Nông

Hello everyone, my name is Tô Hải Nam, a student at Lê Duẩn High School,


and this is my partner. My name is Hoàng Mạnh Hùng, also a student at
Lê Duẩn High School. Today, we will present about the The Đắk Nông
Global Geopark.

The Đắk Nông Global Geopark, recognized by UNESCO in 2020, is a


unique destination in Vietnam's Central Highlands. Covering an area
of over 4,760 km², the geopark is famous for its unique volcanic
cave system, including Chư Bluk Cave – the longest volcanic cave
system in Southeast Asia. The area also features stunning waterfalls, lush
forests, and rich biodiversity, creating a breathtaking natural landscape.
Alongside its natural beauty, Đắk Nông is a cultural meeting place for many
ethnic groups, offering rich historical, geological, and ecological values.
Visitors can explore traditional villages, discover ancient crafts, and
experience local festivals full of vibrant music and dance. It’s an ideal spot
for those who love exploring nature and learning about diverse cultures. For
us, what we find most fascinating is the M’Nông Knitting Village,
where visitors can watch artisans create intricate products and
learn about their way of life.

M ’Nong is one of three and the largest indigenous ethnic group in Dak Nong
province, who has lived in this area for thousands of years. This region used
to be called the M’Nong plateau showing the importance of this ethnicity.
Their way of life is closely related to the forest and they deeply
understand every hill, mountain, terrain. That has helped them to
protect their territory through many fights among various tribes and
even invaders from oversea. M’ Nong know how to live and survive
in the jungle by using natural materials. With the area of 963,5ha,
Kon Hao village has the highest population of the M’Nong ethnic
group (nearly 5,000 people), living together with Kinh, Ma and Dao
people. Local M’Nong ethnic group maintains many traditional
handcrafts like knitting, brocade weaving. Traditional knitting requires
well- crafted, precise skills but now is mostly kept as archive through
memory, from generation to generation. Men of the family are in charge of
knitting objects for agriculture, life, hunting and collecting, such as: large and
flat basket, etc...Material for knitting is from various kinds of bamboo, with
rattan (for tying corners, straps, product patterns). Material is chosen by
experience, not too young or too old bamboo, yellow or green long rattan for
tying to ensure the flexibility and smoothness. Knitting skill mainly is single
set, double set or triple set for each bamboo bar, or hexagon setting with
complicated bamboo bar knotting. There are many shapes of pattern
such as fish bone, canari shape around the object trunk and chop.
The mainly colors are smoky brown and black from soaking in mud
or scrubbing with coal to create the shiny appearance. Every
finished product is placed above a fire to smoke-dry and increase its
strength. Currently, in this village, there are more than 10 good
skilled knitting artisans from a young generation who have
inherited the skills. The knitted products are necessary objects
having strong agricultural associations with the local ethnic group.

The Đắk Nông Geopark was recognized as a Global Geopark by UNESCO in


2020, becoming one of Vietnam's prominent destinations for its geological
and cultural values. This award acknowledges the diversity and uniqueness
of the area's geological system, particularly its volcanic caves, hot springs,
and stunning natural landscapes. The park not only preserves valuable
natural heritage but also promotes education, scientific research on
geology, environmental protection, and sustainable tourism
development. With UNESCO's recognition, Đắk Nông has gained
international attention, attracting scientists and tourists both
locally and globally, while also helping to protect and enhance the
cultural and historical values of the ethnic communities living there.

In short, the knitting of the M’Nong people is a testament to their rich


heritage and deep connection with nature. By preserving and promoting this
traditional craft, the M’Nong community not only honors their ancestors but
also opens doors to cultural pride, economic growth, and sustainable
tourism, ensuring that their legacy endures for future generations.

Thanks you for listening !
