Daisy Bates was a woman who worked with the Australian Aborigines in the early 1900s, helping to bridge understanding between them and the European settlers.
She was commissioned by The Times newspaper to investigate stories of cruelty to the indigenous people of Australia. She settled in northwest Australia, at Beagle Bay Mission near Broome, and learnt Aboriginal culture, language and legends. Here, she compiled a dictionary of several Aboriginal dialects, common words and phrases.
Bates became a Travelling Protector, specially commissioned to conduct inquiries into native conditions and problems, such as employment on stations, guardianship and the morality of native and half-caste women in towns and mining camps. Bates became a true friend and protector of the Aborigines. She used her own money to buy them rations, sacrificing her own lifestyle to improve theirs, but at the same time preserving their culture and traditions.
Daisy May Bates is noted for being the first Australian English woman to be concerned with the aborigines' health and conditions.
