The starting point of this research is a historical trace: Caibi, an indigenous word that was given as the name of a city of Italian colonization in the far west of Santa Catarina. The city was officially founded in the 1920 s, from a colony of the descendants of european immigrants. It s founding history is described in the book: Caibi: Histories and Memories (2012) from the point of view of the socalled pioneers, settlers or people of origin. The latter - the expression used by the native population of caboclos to refer to the new occupants of their lands. Interested in the difference between the official foundation narrative and the testimonies of the group that originally lived in the region (descendants of indigenous people), this work compares these two versions of history. Firstly the research considers a historical-critical approach to the founding local narrative through the use of studies of historiographical review, archival materials and interviews with the caboclos who still live in the city. After looking back on the foundational narrative, another part of the work consists in the proposal to settle a new narrative: a fictional text, in the format of a poetic novel, which uses all the gathered material to create a new origin for the city - which includes caboclos and natives as characters alongside the already known settlers. In addition to the historiographical caboclamento realized from the concept of caboclo by Luiz Antônio Simas, the concepts of archive (Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault), script and performance (Diana Taylor), history and narrative (Walter Benjamin) are also present in this discussion.
