One Tree Hill
Maungakiekie
About 20 years ago Maungakiekie/One tree hill only had one tree on the mountain but one man named Mike Smith had cut down the tree. A few years ago
the one tree was too unstable to stay on the mountain so they cut down the whole tree, some other people started to plant more and more trees on the mountain.
Do you know why this man cut the tree down? What was he trying to say?
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's best to keep it's Māori name only... "a place where the kiekie (native vine) grows abundantly"
