About
Discover the remarkable woman who broke barriers and made history in the world of archaeology!
In Bertha Parker: The First Woman Indigenous American Archaeologist, young readers meet a groundbreaking scientist whose curiosity, determination, and passion for discovery helped pave the way for future generations.
Born into a family with Abenaki and Seneca heritage, Bertha Parker challenged expectations and pursued her interest in archaeology during a time when women, particularly Indigenous women, faced significant barriers in scientific fields.
In 1930, Parker made an extraordinary discovery while exploring a cave in Nevada: the skull of an extinct giant ground sloth. Her work helped establish her reputation as a pioneering archaeologist and demonstrated the importance of careful scientific investigation.
Written by Mari Bolte, this accessible biography introduces newly independent readers to Parker's achievements and her lasting contributions to archaeology.
Part of the Queens of STEAM series, the book celebrates women who have made important contributions to science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics.
Complete with a glossary and engaging activities, this inspiring introduction encourages young readers to explore history, ask questions, and imagine their own futures in STEAM fields
