This article is the result of research conducted in southeastern Pará (Brazil) to understand the process of territorialization in social and trade union movements in this region and their strategies to fight for land and remain on it after settlement projects were created. The work focused on the activity of the trade union movement, which originated in the organization and mobilization of peasant-squatters from the period of the Brazil nut economy (1920–1960) and later, the initial years of Amazonian "modernization" (1960–1990), and led to the deterritorialization of traditional (indigenous) peoples and communities as well as peasant-squatters. The movements consequently established various strategies to reterritorialize themselves, starting with the creation of settlements. Although this did not take place without conflict, it contributed to a change in the regional geography, in which peasants were able to mark out their territories and retrace their histories.
