The Indigenous Food Lab Market from NATIFS, the nonprofit founded by "Sioux Chef" Sean Sherman, is leaving the Midtown Global Market on June 7.
It will move into the group's Wóyute Thipi Building in the former Seward Co-op Creamery at 2601 Franklin Ave. S in Minneapolis. NATIFS announced its acquisition of the building earlier this year.
When completed, it will also house a commissary kitchen for producing Indigenous foods for public schools and hospitals, NATIFS offices, coworking space for Indigenous and other BIPOC businesses, and its new ŠHOTÁ Indigenous BBQ by Owamni restaurant.
The Indigenous Food Lab Market, a cafe and retail space with Indigenous-made products, opened in the Midtown Global Market in 2023. It was founded as part of NATIFS' overall mission to foreground sustainable, Indigenous food culture.
The nonprofit recently announced that the Indigenous Food Lab will expand to Bozeman, Mont., with hopes of opening in late 2025.
An opening date for the market at the Wóyute Thipi Building has not yet been announced. Its production kitchen will remain at Midtown Global Market, and its food education initiatives will remain active, NATIFS said in an story was originally reported by Bring Me The News on Jun 3, 2025, where it first appeared.
