WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 2002 For years, the U'wa Nation of Colombia fought plans by a U.S. company to drill on traditional tribal land and saw a victory when Occidental Petroleum withdrew from the area. But the tribe faces another foreign threat, this time from the U.S. government. As part of a $98 million federal aid package, Colombian troops will be trained by American forces on U'wa land. The purpose is to protect an oil pipeline that has been the target of rebels groups. Get the Story:
