Black Cloud Rises

On Thanksgiving Day, known to many Indigenous Americans as the Day of Mourning, Black Cloud watches his niece and nephew delight in the Macy’s parade from their Pine Ridge Reservation home, while he silently carries generations of unacknowledged grief. After receiving a powerful vision, he and his friends embark on a daring journey to disrupt America’s beloved parade, not simply as protest, but as a desperate plea to be truly seen by a nation that has looked away for centuries. As their plan unfolds in the heart of New York City, what begins as an act of defiance transforms into an unexpected path toward healing for both sides of America’s oldest wound.
