“A culture without food is a lost culture. I think it’s extremely important to bring back some of this knowledge, this food, and to be able to serve it in a modern context that everyone can appreciate. ”– Chef Sean Sherman, in the Heavy Table, Sep. 10, 2014Owamni is the James Beard Award winning Indigenous restaurant created by The Sioux Chef in 2021 showcasing true North American Indigenous foods and culture. The goal of this restaurant is to showcase modern Indigenous foods. This means that we prioritize purchasing from Indigenous producers first, and build our seasonal menus to reflect region, culture, and Indigenous identities.
They have cut out colonial ingredients such as beef, pork, chicken, dairy, wheat flour, and cane sugar, instead highlighting true agricultural products of North America, such as corns, beans, squashes, wild game, birds, fish and Native plants. This approach offers a different story of American cooking than the Eurocentric one that is traditionally touted— instead celebrating the amazing Indigenous diversity of Turtle Island..
The restaurant popularity makes it difficult to get a reservation. However you can dine with your AIC colleagues. We will sit down to a 4-course meal featuring some of the restaurants most popular dishes. All starters and sides will be Vegan and for the entree you will have a choice or a Vegan or meat dish.
The restaurant does serve beer and wine. We will need to wait for the Spring menus to determine if guests can purchase drinks onsite or if we will need to setup an optional wine pairing at an additional cost.
