Bagot Community is an Aboriginal community in Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia. It was formerly known as the Bagot Aboriginal Reserve. It is now the largest Aboriginal community in Darwin, home to nearly 400 Aboriginal people. History{{Main|Retta Dixon Home}}The Bagot Aboriginal Reserve was established in 1939 when all Aboriginal residents were moved from the Kahlin Compound. The Retta Dixon Home was located at the reserve. In 1954, 22 boys from the reserve travelled to Toowoomba to perform a corroboree for Queen Elizabeth II.[1] In the 1970s the reserve was handed over to the Indigenous custodians and became known as Bagot Community. Recent historyBagot Community is run by the Bagot Community Incorporated (BCI). It faced financial difficulties in 2015 and was reportedly in administration with debts of more than $700,000.[2] Commercial development of about three hectares of the Bagot Community site was then proposed. President of BCI Helen Fejo-Frith stated the development would "enable the Bagot Community to have a sustainable future".[3] A community celebration known as 'The Bagot Festival' was held as part of Darwin Festival in 2014, featuring music, dance and art.[4] In 2015, a painting project was undertaken at the community which saw a series of murals painted on the houses.[5] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article49483308 |title=Bagot Natives Corroboree |newspaper=Northern Standard |volume=9, |issue=11 |location=Northern Territory, Australia |date=18 March 1954 |accessdate=2 October 2016 |page=6 |via=National Library of Australia}} 2. ^{{cite news|last1=Daly|first1=Nadia|title=Bagot Aboriginal community in Darwin goes into administration|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-30/bagot-aboriginal-community-in-darwin-goes-into-administration/6899456|accessdate=2 October 2016|agency=ABC News|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|date=30 October 2015}} 3. ^{{cite news|last1=Terzon|first1=Emilia|title=Shopping centre proposed to get Indigenous community Bagot out of financial strife|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-15/bagot-community-shopping-centre-proposal/7849846|accessdate=2 October 2016|agency=105.7 ABC Darwin|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|date=15 September 2016}} 4. ^{{cite news|last1=Moodie|first1=Georgia|title=Darwin Festival celebrates Bagot community|url=http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/booksandarts/darwin-festival-celebrates-bagot-community/5677448|accessdate=2 October 2016|agency=RN Books and Arts|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|date=18 August 2014}} 5. ^{{cite news|last1=Terzon|first1=Emilia|last2=Kerrigan|first2=Vicki|title=Bagot community painted with Darwin's Indigenous history|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-11-05/bagot-painting-home-project-darwin/6913412|accessdate=2 October 2016|agency=105.7 ABC Darwin|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|date=5 November 2015}} External links
