This study highlights the process of territorialization and identities through the memories of the
migrants who form the communities: Vila Piauí and Vila Cearense, located in the city of
Araguaína -TO, in an interdisciplinary approach based on narratives with the objective of
analyzing the spatial occupation and its implications in the loss, to a certain extent, of the
identity references of the protagonists of this research, as well as the (re) construction of their
values in the new space during the territorial appropriation: deterritorializing and reterritorializing by re-meaning the senses that are mobilized in another space gradually
transformed into a built place. It is through orality that Northeastern migrants narrate their
stories using memory mechanisms to express their feelings imbricated in the lived
territorialities and reveal their identities in the space where they construct and rebuild them
decentralized, dynamic, distinct and multiple which metamorphose into a continuum. This
research was developed based on the Oral History method, precisely using the Life History
technique by an interdisciplinary bias based on a semi-structured interview, analyzing the
narratives of the migrants who, by force of memory, although fragmented, fictionalized,
silenced, forgotten and selected, express the senses that motivated them to seek a new space to
build their place. During the survey fifteen migrants were interviewed among them, thirteen
Northeastern, that is, the majority. We emphasize that the participants of this study play the role
of protagonists narrating their life stories and the facts that guide the phenomenon of migration.
This social event is narrated in a particular way by each migrant impressing meanings in the
course of the narratives under the process of territorialization. Thus, the history of the city of
Araguaína is narrated from the look of these migrants.
