Join us for a 5-course private tasting dinner at Indegina by Owamni's new location inside the Guthrie Theater.

Our unique dining event will take place in the Guthrie Theater's Amber Box 9th-floor observation deck cantilevering 15 feet from the building. Featuring amber-tinted glass, it provides 360-degree views of the Mississippi River, Stone Arch Bridge, and downtown.

5:30-6 pm. Social gathering time

6:-6:15 pm. Speaker Introductions

6:15-6:30 pm. First courses served

We are privileged to have 3 Indigenous food experts joining us:

Cassandra Roy - Ojibwe Food Educator
Linda Black Elk, Education Manager at Indigenous Food Labs.
Luke Black Elk (Tetowan Lakota, Itazipco Band) renowned chef, food sovereignty activist, and teacher of traditional plant uses, gardening, food preservation, and foraging.

Private events at Indegina by 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 Indegina by 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 Indegina by 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).

NOTE: Registration for this event is only available through Minneapolis Community Education. (Please do not call Indegina by Owamni or the Guthrie Theater.)

Indegina by Owamni is now located inside the Guthrie Theater: 818 S 2nd St, Minneapolis, MN 55415.

NOTE: $195 reflects pricing based on the new location.

If event is sold out, please enroll for the waitlist. We will contact you if a space becomes available.
