“The use of ICE was never about protecting borders. It’s about fear… This country tested its cruelty on Indigenous people first; now the playbook hasn’t changed, only the target. So join us, share a meal, and help us make the fear fail.”
— Sean Sherman, Indígena by Owamni
Indígena by Owamni is owned and operated by North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems (NATIFS), a donor-supported nonprofit dedicated to rekindling Indigenous food sovereignty and building a food system that generates real wealth and wellbeing in Native communities. When you eat there, you’re supporting Indigenous farmers, foragers, and food producers across Turtle Island—including long-time partners like Native wise, Red Cliff Fishery, Dream of Wild Health, Red Lake Foods, Bow and Arrow Corn, and Ramona Farms—and fueling work that goes far beyond the restaurant’s walls. This approach offers a different story of American cooking by celebrating the amazing Indigenous diversity of the Americas.
Sean Sherman is an Oglala Lakota chef, author, and founder of North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems (NATIFS). Born and raised on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, he has spent his career reclaiming pre-colonial Indigenous foodways—strictly omitting dairy, wheat flour, and cane sugar to honor native ingredients like bison, wild rice, cedar, and sumac. Sherman is the co-founder of the James Beard Award-winning Minneapolis restaurant Owamni, which recently expanded its mission and riverfront footprint as Indígena by Owamni at the Guthrie Theater. Through his culinary work, advocacy, and nonprofit Indigenous Food Lab, Sherman uses food as a tool to rebuild regional native supply chains, restore food sovereignty, and preserve tribal history across artificial colonial borders.
