At Indigenous Stone Corporation our values are simple
We based them off the 7 Sacred Grandfather teachings
LOVE - Pride in Our Work and People
We show love through the care we take in our work, the respect we show our clients, and the support we give our team. Love for what we do ensures quality, safety, even when the path is tough.
COURAGE - Strength to Build and Grow
We face challenges head-on, learning from our mistakes and pushing through obstacles. Courage allows us to take initiative, innovate, and stand strong in our values, even when the path is tough.
RESPECT - For Each Other, the Land, and Our Craft
We treat every person, every job, and every site with respect. Whether it's our coworkers, clients, or the environment we work in, we understand that respect builds trust and lasting relationships.
HONESTY - The Foundation of Our Integrity
We are transparent in our words, actions, and work. Honesty keeps our reputation strong and ensures our commitments are always backed by truth and accountability.
TRUTH - Building with Purpose and Integrity
We align our actions with our values, speaking and working with authenticity. Truth means standing by what we say and ensuring our work reflects who we are as a company.

FOUNDER/PRESIDENT
April Stone, Founder of StoneCorp, brings over 30 years of experience cultivating meaningful partnerships between Indigenous communities, government, and industry. Her expertise spans strategic business consultation, community engagement, and capacity building, bridging cultural understanding with corporate excellence. Through her leadership, April has guided countless organizations in developing authentic, respectful relationships with Indigenous partners, fostering economic growth, reconciliation, and sustainable collaboration.

In the spring of 2020, at the height of the global pandemic, Indigenous Stone took swift and decisive action to support SLCN members and partner communities. The company developed and implemented comprehensive COVID-19 safety protocols and work practices, ensuring that essential operations could continue safely and responsibly.
Recognizing the growing need for community protection and workplace safety during this critical time, Indigenous Stone Corp. expanded its scope of services and established APOW Protective Services, a dedicated branch focused on providing professional, culturally informed security solutions.
Throughout 2020 to 2022, the company worked collaboratively with community partners, health agencies, and local governments to refine and enhance safety procedures in alignment with evolving public health guidelines. This period of rapid adaptation and innovation not only strengthened Indigenous Stone’s operational capacity but also reaffirmed its commitment to leadership, accountability, and the protection of community well-being.
Today, that same spirit of resilience continues to guide the company’s growth, transforming the lessons learned during the pandemic into a lasting framework for safety, security, and Indigenous empowerment.
