On 20 November 1695, Zumbi was located and killed by colonial forces after continuing resistance following the fall of Macaco. The date and details come largely through colonial reports, which framed the event as a victory over a fugitive leader. Later Black movements reclaimed Zumbi as a symbol of self-emancipation and collective resistance. The history of Palmares also belongs to its many residents, including women, children, artisans, farmers, and other leaders whose names colonial documents often did not preserve.
