He was renowned as a military leader in the New Zealand War against Te Kooti, and as a newspaper publisher.
Later he was one of the first Māori politicians, holding the seat of Eastern Maori for five years from 1879 to 1884 when he was defeated; he was the third person to hold the seat. He was later appointed a member of the Legislative Council, from 1898 to 20 February 1904 when he died.
His son Paraire Tomoana was a prominent Māori leader and scholar.
