Cloud Cult is an experimental indie rock band originally from Duluth and later based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Led by singer-songwriter Craig Minowa, the group's name was inspired by ancient prophecies of indigenous North Americans.
Minowa, who has identified as having 1/16th Native American ancestry, has noted that the band's name and early philosophy were heavily influenced by indigenous spiritualities and a deep ecological respect for the land.
Their early albums, such as Who Killed Puck, incorporated these philosophies into the music’s spiritual themes. The band is also well-known for its strict environmental practices, reflecting an indigenous-inspired respect for the natural world.
The band is unique for including visual artists on stage who create paintings during live performances, which are then auctioned off to support charities or environmental causes. Much of their work also deals with themes of grief and purpose following the tragic loss of Minowa's young son in 2002.
