About Us

A Celebration of Land, People, and Culture

Welcome to 39 Restaurant, where every dish reflects the creativity, resilience, and culinary contributions of the First Americans.

First American Foodways

39 Restaurant honors the 39 First American Nations in Oklahoma today. Only a few of these Tribal Nations are Indigenous to what is now the State of Oklahoma. Most were removed from homelands across North America to Indian Territory, but all carry on vibrant and distinct culinary traditions.

We invite you to experience the diverse flavors and rich nutrients of First American cuisine. These foods have sustained our people and shaped our cultures for generations. Our ancestors created extensive trade routes to share ingredients, recipes, and techniques across the Americas. They cultivated sustainable foodways that benefit us to this day. Blending ancestral ingredients with contemporary aesthetics, Emmy Award-winning Chef Consultant Loretta Barrett Oden (Citizen Potawatomi Nation) and Executive Chef Benjamin Hutton bring culinary artistry and cultural celebration to every plate.

Join us at 39, where the past is honored, the present is celebrated, and the future of Native cuisine is proudly plated.
