History
[edit]The village was originally known asAmekan Kondreafter their chief Amekan. It has been renamed Nason after theNassau Mountainswhich are visible in the distance.[2]
TheRedemptorists,Catholic missionaries, were active in the Paramaccan territory during the 19th and 20th centuries.[3]In 1938, they founded the Anton Domici school[4]and a library in the village.[2]Because there were small isolated villages in the territory, the school offeredboardingfacilities. In 1985, the boarding school had a capacity of 21 beds.[5]A healthcare clinic was provided byMedische Zending.[6]
Before theSurinamese Interior War(1986-1992), Nason was one of the largest settlements of the tribe,[2]During the war, theParamaccanssided with theJungle Commando,[7]which resulted in a large-scale migration toFrench Guiana,and the destruction of the boarding school and clinic.[8][2]The facilities have been restored except for the nearbyNason airstrip.[2]
The economy of the village is mainly based onsubsistence farming,andgold mining.[9]
