This article aims to investigate the histories and everyday experiences of struggle and survival of members of the Índio Galdino Settlement, in the region of Curitibanos, Santa Catarina, taking everyday life as the central analytical dimension. The study seeks to understand how these practices are connected to broader processes of territorial dispute, resistance, and collective organization in rural areas. The research adopts a qualitative approach, based on semi-structured interviews and narrative analysis. Drawing on the contributions of Agnes Heller and Michel de Certeau, the study understands everyday life as a privileged space for the production of meanings, strategies, and tactics of resistance. The results show that the settlers’ practices are shaped by structural conditions marked by unequal access to land, territorial disputes, and collective forms of organization and adaptation that enable the continuity and reproduction of life in rural areas. It is concluded that everyday life constitutes a central dimension for understanding the dynamics of agrarian social movements, highlighting both their limitations and their potential in the reconfiguration of social and territorial relations.
