      That article lists it as a mosquito repellant and a salve, not as a fuel. I was careful to use the phrase “petroleum fuel”. Oil as a mosquito repellant doesn’t contribute to global warming.

        The Haudenosaunee did not use petroleum.

        Not in your first comment, and kind of a bad faith argument, because as you have stated, fuel hadn’t been distilled at that time. And there are arguments as to whether they meet the definition of communist.

        So, what communist state that had access to petroleum didn’t harvest for any reason. And which ones after the advent of petroleum fuel didn’t use it?
