A Revolutionary Indigenous Dining Experience on the Mississippi

🌿 Owamni Perched on the historic banks of the Mississippi River, Owamni isn't just a restaurant—it's a profound journey into decolonized Indigenous cuisine. Award-winning and deeply intentional, it revitalizes pre-contact ingredients and techniques, offering flavors that are at once ancient, innovative, and powerfully connected to the land and water it overlooks. 📍 A Location Steeped in Story: The setting is integral to the experience. Step out onto the patio or descend to the riverwalk—you're literally dining where history flows. Within a short walk, you can explore the Mill City Museum, cross the Stone Arch Bridge, or wander into the North Loop and Downtown Minneapolis. It’s a culinary destination woven into the fabric of the city’s past and present. ✨ The Dining Experience: The menu is a celebration of regional, seasonal ingredients like bison, walleye, wild rice, corn, beans, and squash—all sourced without European colonial elements like wheat, dairy, or refined sugar. Dishes such as heirloom corn mush with cedar braised bison, roasted squash, and three sisters salad are not only stunningly presented but tell a story of resilience and flavor. The view, the philosophy, and the food together create a meal that is educational, delicious, and unforgettable. 📝 Short Social Media Caption: “Dining on history and hope at Owamni. 🌾🐟 An incredible Indigenous-led experience by the Mississippi—every bite honored the land and told a story.
