Join us for a 5-course tasting dinner at Owamni. Angela Two Stars of All My Relations Gallery will be joining us as a special guest. Private events at Owamni are special because the culinary team curates a menu specifically for our group based on seasonality of ingredients, sourcing and any dietary preferences. Most of the items that are served are exclusive to our group and are not served in the upstairs dining room on the regular menu. "At Owamni, we like to use foods that are from this region, such as bison, venison, rabbit, wild rice, and corn. Foods we do not use in our establishment are wheat flour, dairy, refined sugars, or any foods that are not native to North America. Not only is this a clean and healthy way to eat, it is also a learning experience about how our Ancestors ate before we were colonized. One of the main parts of the mission at Owamni is the revitalization of our culture and our Indigenous food practices and how we can show our guests what it feels like to eat a full meal and leave feeling energized and whole." Includes dinner and gratuity. (House red /white wine and iced tea available to purchase directly from restaurant). Owamni is located at 420 1st St S, Minneapolis, MN 55401.
