Also coming this season is the 10-week Turtle Island Dinner Series, running Thursday evenings between Jan. 23 and March 27. At these ticketed events, Owamni will close for regular dinner service to celebrate new visions in decolonized cuisine with various chefs, leaders, and changemakers, plus an 8-course tasting menu crafted by the Owamni culinary team. Each event will have 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. seatings, and tickets are available now.
