In 1843, she accompanied her father in a trip east and fell in love with an Indian brave named Cow-Hick-Kee. They married and were employed by P. T. Barnum's American Museum in Manhattan, performing ceremonial Indian dances.

Do-Hum-Me was instantly very popular, but died at age 18, possibly of influenza, and was buried in the Green-Wood Cemetery, in Brooklyn. Her monument is in the shape of a grieving Indian brave.
