Founder’s Statement
Diné, Janeth & Fandleran
Where Lost Histories Are Recovered.
Established 2022
Founded in honor of our mother, whose commitment to truth, care, and preservation shaped the values of this archive.
Founded upon a commitment to truth, preservation, and historical clarity, the Diné, Janeth & Fandleran Reliquary was established in 2022 to identify, safeguard, and document artifacts whose histories risk being forgotten, obscured, or misrepresented.
From its earliest work, the Reliquary has stood as a steward of provenance—recovering lost narratives, correcting the record, and restoring order to the past.
We believe every significant object carries a story that deserves accuracy, dignity, and permanence. Our mission is to reconstruct these histories through meticulous research, evidentiary integrity, and transparent documentation. Each dossier produced under the Reliquary’s name reflects a disciplined standard: authenticity must be proven, not assumed; and the truth of an artifact is as important as the artifact itself.
In founding this institution, we embrace the responsibility not only to preserve objects, but to ensure that their journeys—however fragmented—are recovered, verified, and faithfully recorded for the generations that follow. Through these efforts, we seek to illuminate what was once lost, elevate what was once overlooked, and protect what might otherwise disappear into silence.
This Reliquary stands as a testament to that purpose. And to all future custodians: may these restored histories endure.
