Our Heritage
ROOTED IN INDIAN COUNTRY.
Founded by a Cherokee family in 1908, Flintco remained Native-owned for more than a century. Our respect for our heritage still guides how we build today—strengthening tribal communities, supporting Native businesses, and creating opportunities for the next generation of Native Americans.
OUR APPROACH
Built on trust.
OUR APPROACH
Flintco has partnered with 79 Native nations throughout Indian Country. Our Cherokee heritage informs us of our approach. While expectations for quality, budget, and schedule are a given, we prioritize tribal utilization—partnering with local trades, mentoring Native workers, and providing training opportunities that help strengthen tribal communities for generations.
