David Roy is recognized as a Hopi carver, often mentioned alongside his brothers, Coolidge Roy Jr. and Silas Roy, who are also noted for their Kachina doll carvings.
David Roy, born in Moenkopi and living in Tuba City, is part of a family of carvers, with his brothers Silas and Coolidge Roy Jr. being well-known for their Kachina dolls.
The Deer Kachina is a significant figure in Hopi culture, often depicted as a social dancer who prays for an increase in deer, abundance of game, sufficient snowfall for harvests, and rain to support crops. These dolls are traditionally carved from cottonwood root and represent spirits (Katsinam) that visit Hopi villages from the San Francisco Peaks between February and late July. The Deer Kachina is typically shown in a dynamic pose, leaning forward with sticks in each hand to mimic the deer’s front legs, and often features antlers, feathers, and vibrant regalia.
