The Krenak of Rio Doce, speakers of a macro jê language that descends from a series of collectives that in the 18th and 19th centuries were known as "Botocudos", were the target of different technologies of violence by agents of the Brazilian State and sectors of Capital in the last two centuries: they were one of the last indigenous peoples to be the object of the colonial legal mechanism of the "Just War" with the arrival of the royal family in Brazil in 1808, going through forced evictions and the construction of an indigenous prison in their territory during the period military, until the ecocide committed against its sacred river ("Uatu") in the beginning of the 21st century.The Krenak in recent years have actively engaged in the fight for their rights to historical reparation in transitional justice spaces and have built a series of alliances and other spaces where their people could "tell their own history" to non-indigenous people.This research aimed to describe what I called a "Krenak counterhistory".A narrative matrix that is a history of the relationship of their people with the Whites, which subverts a series of temporal and supposed beacons that support our idea of "History".For the Krenak, the different events of violence perpetrated by the Kraí (whites) over the past two centuries are updates of a primordial event (the "Just War" of D. João VI), which founds the relationship of their people with our society and that still hasn ́t ended.At first, we analyze the structural characteristics of this narrative and the possible shifts that it places in our narrative matrix of time, what we call "History".In the second part, based on the interlocution with Krenak elders and leaders from Aldeia Vanuire-SP and the analysis of other materials produced by the Krenak, we will seek to understand certain recurring patterns in the historical memories (and in the construction of spaces for their transmission) of their relationship with the Whites, and how these patterns relate to a certain features of Krenak cosmology and modes of existence.Finally, the investigation will focus on the importance of this counter-history in the current struggles for reparation, amnesty, demarcation and what its leaders call "recognition".And how their narratives can be powerful in displacing certain assumptions of our idea of "History", which often limit the construction of more effective and fair reparation policies for indigenous peoples in Brazil
