One Tree Hill
-One Tree Hill located in Cornwall Park in Auckland, was first given its name by early European settlers because there was one single native New Zealand pine tree at the top of the hill. The tree was sacred to the Maori. The Maori associated the tree with umbilical cord that is cut from a baby, which is a important ceremony of their people.
The tree was cut down in 1852 by European workmen who were angry about the non-arrival of their rations.
The obelisk was erected in 1940 in honor of Sir John Logan Campbell who worked for the honor of the Maori and their rights. Campbell was also buried on the top of the hill(Jones).
