Penobscot Nation Has Got Venezuela's Back

10:27 H | Topics: Politics - Venezuela

Penobscot Indians are leading the opposition to a congressional resolution to label Venezuela as a terrorist country. Penobscot leaders say that House Resolution 1049 threatens to stop free heating oil that Venezuela has supplied to hundreds of American Indians and low-income people for the last three years. James Sappier, former Penobscot chief, said it was not true that the Venezuela government supports the Colombian guerrilla group, FARC, designated by the U.S. as a terrorist group. Sappier and others are urging tribes to contact their representatives to urge them to vote against the resolution.
