Quedas do Iguaçu is a small town in the State of Paraná, of the 30 thousand in habitants, who currently reside in the municipality (2017), there are approximately ten thousand of landless rural workers. This research is a quest to understand how a landless person becomes a Landless person, how this process was representative in Quedas do Iguaçu, how were they received, what practices have they developed, how reported by the newspaper Expoente, by local authorities, and even if transformations were won by the Movement of Landless Rural Workers (MST), during those fifteen years in the municipality (1999 - 2014). To this end, some categories and discussions have become fundamental, we highlight: Social movement, memory, practices, identity, agroecology, education and stigmatization. We used varied sources: newspaper Expoente, interviews with landless person, images and productions / publications of the Landless movement. The settlement Celso Furtado is the result of the camps built in 1999 and 2003 and in the process of its implementation were formed the landless rural workers of Quedas do Iguaçu.
