This paper aims to analyze the perspectives narrated in the booklet “A Princesa do Vale do Canindé: narrativas sobre Santa Rosa do Piauí” (The Princess of the Canindé Valley: narratives about Santa Rosa do Piauí), seeking to understand through these narratives how the process of building the Santa Rosa colony, formerly Fazenda Patos, an area that belonged to the municipality of Oeiras-PI, came about. The ANDA project - Associação Nordestina de Desenvolvimento Agrícola (Northeastern Agricultural Development Association), brought by the bishop of the diocese of Oeiras, Dom Edilberto Dinkelborg, was a factor of great importance, both for Colônia-Santa Rosa and for the former capital Oeiras.
