Officially released in February 2026, The Gates of Whiteclay presents the story of Whiteclay, Nebraska, a small unincorporated community located on the southern boundary of the Oglala Lakota reservation at Pine Ridge. Built on land originally intended to buffer the area’s Native peoples from White fortune seekers, the community instead became a major source of alcohol-related victimization.

This appalling state of affairs continued for over 115 years until a small group of intercessors called out to God for justice and transformation. In 2017 their prayers were answered when the community’s predatory alcohol vendors were shut down and replaced by a growing assemblage of life-affirming businesses, care facilities, and churches.
