Flagstaff Hill (New Zealand)

Flagstaff Hill (Maiki Hill) overlooks the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. Directly north of the small historical village of Russell, the flagstaff on the hill played a significant role in early relations between the local Māori of the Ngāpuhi iwi and early British colonials.

For the hill overlooking the New Zealand city of Dunedin, see Flagstaff, Otago. For the suburb of the New Zealand city of Hamilton, see Flagstaff, Waikato.
