Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill
- A 182-metre (597 ft) volcanic peak in Auckland
- An important memorial place for both Māori and other New Zealanders. The suburb around the base of the hill is also called One Tree Hill.
- It is surrounded by the suburbs of Royal Oak to the west, and clockwise, Epsom, Greenlane, Oranga, and Onehunga.
- The summit provides views across the Auckland area and allows visitors to see both of Auckland's harbours.
- The Māori name Maungakiekie means "mountain of the kiekie vine".
- Māori also knew it as "tōtara that stands alone".
- The mountain and its surrounds were home to the Te Wai ō Hua tribe from the early 1700s and probably before that time.
- Other Māori tribes in the Auckland area can also trace their ancestry to the mountain.
