'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)

[Jeju Update] Snowy Gangjeong, Jeju Island



The planned peace rally on Jan. 15 was cancelled because of a big snowstorm on the day. The airplanes from Seoul to the Jeju had to return back to the peninsula or to fly with several hours delayed. On the morning of Jan. 16, snow is still falling down in the Gangjeong village. The markets in Gangjeong could not deliver some necessary stuff yesterday. The Gangjeong villagers who break from their relay one man protest in front of the Island Hall (from 8:30 am to 6pm) in the City of Jeju, are making rest in their homes during the weekend. The below is a series of photos of their relay one man protest that started on Jan. 10. ( *Photo credits: Koh Hyun-Joon, Jeju Hwangyung (*means 'environment') Ilbo)
