This article describes the history of territorial occupation and the population losses reported by the monolingual Akuntsú. A people that suffered numerous persecutions and witnessed the death of their relatives which occurred with the arrival of national expansion fronts in the state of Rondônia. Today they are protected by Funai who made the first contact with them in 1995, when they were able to continue their cultural processes and daily activities. Thus, in this article, we bring different stories told by the older members of the group: Konibú, who already passed away, and his wife Pugapia. Today, the group is reduced to only three people, who are living memories of a history of massacre, persecution, and escape that took place in the state of Rondônia in the 1980s and 1990s.
