Title
English: Dr. Frederick W. Seward posed with two Eskimo women and child, Pay Streak, Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, Seattle, 1909. The young woman on the left is Columbia Eneutseak Smith, the daughter of Esther Eneutseak and John C. Smith. Columbia was born on January 16, 1893 in Illinois, in the "Eskimo Village" exhibition at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Esther and other Inuit natives of Labrador populated the village, where they demonstrated to exposition visitors the lifestyle of "Eskimo" culture. Two years after this photograph was taken, Columbia, credited as Columbia Eneutseak, co-starred in two films produced by the Selig Polyscope Company: The Way of the Eskimo released on July 17, 1911 and Lost in the Arctic released on September 18, 1911. Columbia for many years was promoted in the media and identified erroneously at additional expositions and at other events as the "First Eskimo Child Born in America”.
Description
English:

Son of William H. Seward, chief figure in the purchase of Alaska. Eskimos left to right: "Columbia", Eskimo from Labrador; infant named "Seattle"; and mother of the child .
