Upon taxi in to the gate in IND the aircraft hit a patch of black ice and we slid across runway apparently hitting some ground lights on the way. We were told later we were not the first plane to do so. I was confused as to why our pilot was not informed of this upon arrival. The A flight attendant was shaken up as were other passengers up front more so as they got the brunt of the [event].Proper communication next time from the tower would have assisted us in avoiding this [event].
Commercial flight attendant reported the aircraft skidded during taxi after encountering black ice which resulted in aircraft impact with several runway edge lights.
