Sumario:This article analyses two movements on Karitiana – a Tupi-Arikém-speaking group in Rondonia state, northwestern Brazil – history. First, the process of territorialization that subjugated that group and drove their geographical location and ethnic identification since first decades of XXth century; following this, the paper explores movements of ‘counter-territorialization’ that, in recent times, has led the Karitiana to challenge their forced spatialization and identification by territorial recapturing that are also a time recovering, a back to a glorious past ruined by the emergence of whitemen.
