Thank you, Minneapolis, for this honor.
We are in the final steps of what already feels like just the beginning — Owamni left a legacy that Indígena carries with so much pride. We’re so close to opening our doors, but we wanted to pause and thank this city, and every single person on our team who makes something like this possible.

Miigwech, Tokša — nos vemos pronto aquí en Indígena. 🌿

Two takeaways: We are THRILLED to be moving to — iconic, just like Eddie said. But we can’t leave without acknowledging… we are really going to miss this view.

This place changed us. We hope it changed you too.
Five years ago, we opened, and we understood it was never just a restaurant.
Today is our last day of service in this location. The mission doesn’t stop.
See you at the Guthrie as Indígena by Owamni. Same mission. Bigger table.

Some places stay with you long after you leave.

April 30 is our last day for reservations, and we wanted you to know, before it’s over, that every meal here has meant something to us. Every table. Every hello.

We’re not saying goodbye. But we are asking you to come back one more time — right where it all began.
And when this chapter closes… something new is already being written. 🌿

As we move into a new chapter — and a new name — this is the kind of experience that defines where we’re going. Indigenous foodways that don’t stop at borders, but expand across the Americas, through collaboration, story, and shared intention.

Having Chef Joseph (slide 4, left) in residence as we prepare for our next space at the Guthrie makes this moment even more meaningful. What we’re building isn’t just a move… it’s an evolution.

Huge thank you to SOL2NOCHES and everyone who made this sotol dinner possible. These partnerships are what allow us to keep growing, keep learning, and keep crossing borders in the best way.

More to come. We’re just getting started.
