When the Sun Turns Back — A Winter Solstice Story is a visual journey into how Native American communities welcomed another year through the return of the sun and the rhythm of the seasons.

Long before modern calendars, time was marked by nature itself — the lengthening of days, the coming of snow, the return of light. In many Plains cultures, the winter solstice symbolized renewal, balance, and the quiet beginning of a new cycle. Through calm imagery and gentle storytelling, this film honors those traditions and reflects on how communities gathered, prepared, shared warmth, and welcomed the turning of the year together.

This story is not about dates or numbers, but about connection — to the land, to one another, and to the natural world that guides life forward. It is a moment of reflection, gratitude, and renewal, told through peaceful scenes of daily life and seasonal change.

May this story invite you to slow down, to listen, and to remember that every ending is also a beginning.
