'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] Villagers prevent navy's measuring for maritime construction

* Image source: News Jeju, March 28, 2011 뉴스 제주, 2011년 3월 28일 Cartoon by Go Gwon-Il, Gangjeong vilager, Jeju Island The navy says, "Sorry for crack-down" In the cartoon, the navy is enforcing the Jeju naval base construction in the Life and Peace village, Gangjeong, ignoring villagers' own vote, Island council's reversing resolution on the absolute preservation areas in the Gangjeong village despite its no plan for local development as the compensation of naval base construction and massive environmental destruction. The politicians are just watching. ________________________________________________ People prevented Samsung-subcontracted company's measuring for naval base maritime construction in the morning of March 28, 2011 The Samsung-subcontract company workers' attempt to measure and mark for construction in the Joongduk coast, Gangjeong village, was deterred by the villagers on March 28, 2011. Still there was a small red circle and probably more in the coast. The villagers are desperate to prevent the construction measure because it would allow the navy and construction companies’ concrete reclamation in this beautiful rocky coast.

It was turned out that a company driver masked himself as a fishing man. He got strong protest from the villagers. ------------------------------- After prevention of company measuring, people stayed in the coast by evening. It is spring and the rocky coast is like mother. --------------------------------- The navy-contracted companies’ land construction was also going on along with their maritime construction on March 28. The navy is digging and flattening the earth, making a construction site near the beautiful Jinsokkak, an area of the Joongduk coast
