He is of Ngati Pare descent, and is also kin to Ngati Huia and Ngāti Toa. He was born of a very high chiefly status.^[1]

He represented the Western Maori electorate from the 1886 by-election after the death of Te Puke Te Ao to 1893 when he retired.^[2]

He was married to Hiria Te Mahauariki a.k.a. Amokura, whom he had numerous children with. Today his descendants still live in the Ōtaki area.^[1]
