Vale do Amanhecer
Vale do Amanhecer (Valley of Dawn) is a religious community originally with 300 believers that today contains around 10,000 people. Located in the satellite city of Planaltina, Federal District, Brazil, 50 kilometres from Brasília.
==History==
Conceived by the ex-truck driver and medium, Tia Neiva (born Neiva Chaves Zelaya—died 1985), it was installed in its present location in 1969. The Valley occupies an area belonging to the government of the Federal District. There are approximately 500 residents, many of whom, according to the official web site, are abandoned children taken in by Tia Neiva. A juridical entity, called Lar das Crianças de Matildes, was created to give legality to the community. Around the Valley there is a community of approximately 20,000 people, many of whom work or have connections to the Valley.
Among the residents are the directors who worked with Tia Neiva, some families of mediums, those who take care of the maintenance, and occasional people taken in to cure alcoholism.
The focal point of the community is the Temple of Dawn, built of stone, in the format of an ellipse, with a covered area of about 2,400 square metres. Inside you have the impression you are inside a colored labyrinth with several distinct spaces, each one with its function connected to the spiritual works carried out daily. At the back of the temple there is an enormous statue of Pai Seta Branca (lit. "Father White Arrow" in portuguese), the pre-Columbian spirit who allegedly began to talk to Tia Neiva in 1957 and to guide and aid her (and her/their followers) in the creation of the doctrine, the Temple and, eventually, the Valley. He is always depicted as a nice-looking, young, strong, south american native man, wearing a blue tunic, a long, feathered headdress and leather sandals and holding a white arrow, by which he is known.
