Forrest Stoneraven

Managing Partner

With over 20 years of experience in corporate navigation—complemented by a 13-year foundation in the union trades—Forrest possesses the "dual-sight" required to design high-level corporate structures that actually survive the physical and logistical rigors of the North. As a dual citizen of the United States and Canada, he serves as a primary conduit for cross-border commerce, translating complex legal and regulatory frameworks into streamlined, actionable results.

Forrest doesn't just manage assets; he builds the infrastructure of permanence. His approach to "Strategic Stewardship" ensures that every entity within the Gininlyaa portfolio is hardened against market volatility and positioned for generational expansion.

By overseeing the firm’s Cultural Resource Management and leading the strategic advocacy for the federal recognition of Canyon Village, Devin bridges the gap between modern corporate expansion and the preservation of Northern identity. He ensures that Gininlyaa does not just "extract" value, but actively contributes to the cultural and economic permanence of the communities we serve and operate within.

  • The Mandate: "True wealth is measured by what we leave behind. We navigate the future by honoring the path our ancestors walked, ensuring our children inherit a legacy of strength."

The Stoneraven Partnership: A Union of Purpose

The Dual-Lens Advantage

At the core of Gininlyaa Holdings is the marriage of Forrest and Devin Stoneraven. This partnership is the bedrock of our firm’s "Dual-Lens" philosophy—a convergence of two worlds that are often at odds: the disciplined, strategic rigor of industrial development and the deep, ancestral sovereignty of the Gwich’in people.

As husbands and business partners, our lives and our work are inseparable. This unity offers our partners a level of stability and trust that is rare in the corporate world. We don't just "collaborate" across cultures; we live that bridge every day.

Why Our Union is Your Asset:

  • A Unified Front: Because we are partners in life and business, our communication is seamless and our goals are singular. There is no "daylight" between our cultural values and our corporate strategy.

  • The Authentic Bridge: Our marriage bridges the gap between the boardroom and the village. We don’t just consult with Indigenous communities; we are family. This provides our projects with an authentic, unbreakable bond of trust that traditional firms cannot replicate.

  • Generational Stability: We aren’t building for a quarterly report or a five-year exit. We are building a legacy for our family and the communities we serve. As a dual-citizen household, we navigate the 141st Meridian with a long-term perspective that ensures our projects are built to last for generations.

"In the Gwich'in language, Gininlyaa means 'To Make or Create.' As a couple, we have committed our lives to creating a North where industry and tradition don't just coexist—they thrive together."
