[5][2] A dispute over living conditions led to most of the Inuit leaving the exposition before it officially opened and establishing their own "Eskimo Village" outside of the fairgrounds, adjacent to Buffalo Bill's Wild West show.

[5] By the time the company arrived at their next engagement at the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition, promotion responsibilities had been taken over by John Casper Smith, and by 1903 he had become Eneutseak's husband.

[5] They appeared at the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (where Columbia was elected "Queen of the Carnival"), and again in Denver, before establishing a permanent Eskimo Village attraction in Ocean Park, California, in 1910.

The family began to supply Hollywood studios with sleds, dog teams, furs, and costumes from their Ocean Park attraction for the popular Northern films, and even appeared as extras.

[2] Columbia Eneutseak, who had grown up in the public eye and was by then an attractive, 18-year old young woman, was being cast in increasingly prominent roles, and in 1911 the Selig Polyscope Company filmed The Way of the Eskimo (now lost) based on a story she wrote.
