Neil David Sr.

His grandparents were invited to exhibit their art at the Santa Fe Indian Village pavilion at the Railroad Fair in Chicago in 1948.

He sold his first Kachina doll while a high school freshman to Byron Hunter, who managed the trading store in Polacca.

[8] Patricia Broder's Hopi Painting includes biographical essays of the Artist Hopid and details their exhibits and achievements.

The authors/guest curators of the exhibit and publications closing comments (on page 42) were: "the thought-provoking Hopi Triple Self-Portrait, by artist Neil David Sr., which, we have come to think of as the signature image for this project, so many avenues does it explore.

"[14] David lives and continues to create his painting and carving on the Hopi Reservation in Polacca on First Mesa, Arizona.

The original set of 79 paintings by Neil David, on which the book Kachinas, Spirit Beings of the Hopi[15]see page 11 is based, are now in the collection of Dr. Yasutada Kashiwago, Founder of the Kashiwagi Museum in Tateshina, Nagano, Japan.

David produced all the illustrations in Eric Bromberg's book The Hopi Approach to the Art of Kachina Doll Carvings.
