One Tree Hill

One Tree Hill

One Tree Hill is a significant place because it means a lot to people in New Zealand especially Maori’s. Around the 1700 Maori bones were deposited in lava around the hill. Maori ancestors were buried on One Tree Hill. Another reason why One Tree Hill is a significant place is because of the beautiful view you get when your on the top. You get a beautiful view of Auckland. When I am there I usually see people going for runs up the hill for exercise. In 1870 a lot of native trees were re planted on the hill but only a pine tree survived. In the 1900’s the tree was attacked by Maoris and a lot of people were not happy about it. The tree was not healthy and they tried their best to save it but they had no choice but to cut it down. People visit One Tree Hill as a remembrance of the tree.
