The Gininlyaa Manifesto
We believe that in the Interior, nothing is truly lost—only waiting to be found. We reject the "disposable" model of real estate that lets our history rot and sends Alaskan equity out of state. As partners and husbands, we stand at the intersection of Operational Precision and Ancestral Stewardship to reclaim what is stranded, resurrect what is failing, and protect what is sacred. We don’t just build for today; we engineer a legacy for the next seven generations.

The Meaning of the Name (to make/ to create) In the sub-arctic, you cannot create the future while leaving the wreckage of the past behind. At Gininlyaa, restoration is creation.
The Intersection Gininlyaa Property & Asset Solutions was born at the intersection of two distinct, yet inseparable, Alaskan realities: Operational Precision and Ancestral Stewardship.
Operational Precision is the "How." It is the cold, hard logic of the Arctic-Spec exoskeleton, the tactical mastery of the FNSB tax code, and the relentless pursuit of efficiency. The engineering framework Forrest Stoneraven developed to stop the cycle of property decay.
Ancestral Stewardship is the "Why." It is the Gwich’in worldview that Devin brings to every boardroom and job site. It is the understanding that we are temporary caretakers of this land, and our buildings must be "Guardians" for the next seven generations. It is the moral obligation to recover the "stranded" equity of our neighbors and return it to the hands of the people.
Our Mission: Beyond the Blight
We do not look at a "Zombie" property and see a pile of blight. We see a Stranded Relative—a structure that was once a home, a dream, or a retirement fund.
By encasing these failing assets in modern SIP technology and protecting them with a 10-year tax shield (FNSBC 8.12.045), we aren't just flipping houses. We are resurrecting the Fairbanks landscape, one structure at a time, ensuring that the wealth created here stays here—in Alaskan hands, for the next seven generations.
Forrest is the tactical engine behind Gininlyaa. With a background in high-performance engineering and complex asset management, he views the Fairbanks landscape through a lens of systems and solutions. Where others see "zombie" properties and insurmountable tax debt, Forrest sees a technical challenge that can be solved with the right framework.
He developed the Arctic-Spec Exoskeleton—a SIPs-based restoration model designed to stop structural decay in its tracks—and mastery of the FNSB tax code to provide homeowners with a "White Knight" exit strategy. Forrest is committed to ensuring that every property Gininlyaa assumes is engineered to survive the Interior for the next century.
"If a structure is failing, it's usually because the system around it failed first. My job is to build a better system."

Managing Partner & Operations
Rooted in Gwich’in values and the "Seven Generation" principle, Devin ensures that every Gininlyaa project remains focused on the people and the land. His work is the bridge between complex bureaucracy and restorative justice.
Devin specializes in the human side of asset recovery—navigating the emotional and administrative hurdles of "stranded equity" to return wealth to Fairbanks families. He ensures that as we resurrect structures, we are also restoring the neighborhood’s integrity and keeping Alaskan property in Alaskan hands. To Devin, a house isn't just an asset; it is a legacy that deserves a second chance.
"Land stewardship isn't about owning; it's about honoring. We are here to make sure no Alaskan legacy is left behind."
