Emil Pooley (1912-1979) was a well-known carver around the Albuquerque area as he demonstrated annually at the New Mexico State Fairgrounds for years and years. After his marriage, he and his wife moved from Hotevilla Village on the Hopi Reservation, first to Winslow, AZ, then to Joseph City, AZ where they spent their remaining years. He opened a trading post in Joseph City on the old Route 66 in 1949 and continued carving katsina dolls and selling them at his post.
