'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

'Leaders and believers of four major religious orders walk hand-in-hand on the riverbank of the Nakdong River, closely located to the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project construction site of the Sangju Weir, March 15. Approximately 130 participants shouted, “The river is life, the river is our parent.”

This was the first ceremony in which four major religious orders in South Korea including Buddhists, Catholics, Protestants, and Won Buddhists participated in a demonstration together and it has been interpreted as a signal that the religious groups of South Korea will become more vigorously involved in the protest against the Lee Myung-bak administration’s Four Major Rivers Restoration Project.
