'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)

Many people in the Jeju Island say the Gangjeong villagers' suffering on and struggle against naval base construction is increasingly becoming reminiscent of the Jeju 4. 3 uprising and massacre. While the whole truth of the Jeju 4. 3 is still to be excavated, the state power's illegal and unjust naval abse construction was going on the same day when three witness of 4. 3 said their horrible experience during the Jeju 4. 3. After 63 years, history is repeated and connected again between the past and present. The people will eventually win.

Unknown sorrow
Jeju Uprising at the Jeju April 3 Peace Memorial

March 30, 2011

An elderly bereaved family member searches for his family members’ tombstones at the cemetery for missing victims of the Jeju Uprising at the Jeju April 3 Peace Memorial Park that is nearing completion.
About 3,400 tombstones lie in rows, but a number of the remains beneath them have yet to be excavated and identified through DNA testing.

On the wall of the place of enshrinement, a phrase is written, “Who are you whose bones became miserable remains trapped together in a small, dark hole?” 

The Jeju Uprising was a revolt on Jeju Island off the south coast of the Korean Peninsula that began on April 3, 1948. Around 25,000 residents were killed in fighting between various factions. In particular, there were massacres by the South Korean army that brutally suppressed the rebellion and destroyed many villages on the island.

South Korea’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission reported 14,373 victims, 86 percent at the hands of the security forces and 13.9 percent at the hands of armed rebels. In April 2006, then-President Roh Moo-Hyun officially apologized to the people of Jeju Province for this massacre.

The excavation is not yet underway because of a budget cut to Jeju that took place on April 3 of last year.
