📝 INTERVIEW | Living through the Blockade in an Indigenous Community: The 4F Huo̧ttö̧ja̧ Commune

In Venezuela’s Amazonas state, the February 4 Huo̧ttö̧ja̧ Commune weathered the crisis with self-sufficiency. Amid fuel shortages and economic hardship, they relied on traditional farming, hunting, and herbal medicine.

"Our production never stopped. When transport was scarce, we walked to the market and traded for what we needed," states communard Nereo López Pérez, a popular educator and professor who works to preserve the stories of Limón de Parhueña.

Beyond survival, Indigenous leaders reflect on Chávez’s legacy. "Before the Revolution, we weren’t even recognized," says Sirelyis Rivas, a spokesperson of the Limón de Parhueña Communal Council, highlighting how Venezuela’s Constitution enshrined their languages and land rights.
