Across the Northern Plains.
The nonprofit center of an Indigenous-led Constellation, rooted on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation.
We build a sustainable future that empowers Indigenous Peoples — and relatives of all directions — to create change.
Yutȟéča — Restoring our ancestors’ teachings to create a future that is our own.
Our story is built on prayer
The Four Directions
Each of our initiatives aligns with a prayer way of life. The Four Directions hold every nation of the human family — rooted at Standing Rock, open to all who come in a good way.
Our Heritage
From Standing Rock CDC to Seven Stones Corp.
For nearly a decade we carried this work as Standing Rock Community Development Corporation. At the heart of that seal sits the turtle — and its shell carried over into the shape of our new emblem. But our first seal was never just a logo. It was a master plan in disguise — a whole community, drawn as a medicine wheel.
On May 6, 2026, our Board of Directors adopted Seven Stones Corp as our trade name. The turtle carries the shape; the sevens carry the meaning — our name comes from our way of prayer, where seven stones come first and everything we do follows the sevens. Standing Rock Community Development Corporation remains our legal name — today doing business as Seven Stones Corp. Same people. Same purpose. Same Standing Rock roots.
