Te Rangitahau emerged as an adversary of the colonial government when, in October 1866, he accompanied about 100 Ngati Hineuru under Te Rangihiroa to Omarunui in Hawke's Bay; it was thought that they intended to attack Napier, so they themselves were attacked and defeated by Colonel George Whitmore.
Te Rangitahau was one of the leaders of the attack on Major Reginald Biggs's house during the raid on Matawhero on 10 November 1868.
Te Rangitahau helped to guide Te Kooti's forces to Lake Taupo and led an advance party during the brilliantly executed stratagem which, at Opepe on 7 June, resulted in the deaths of nine volunteers from the government forces; five others escaped.

Hiding in the rugged vastness of the Urewera mountain country, Te Kooti and his band of Ringatu drawn from Tuhoe and Chatham Island-escapees are the last holdout of resistance against the colonial government, and have been for months.
Te Kooti is completely unaware of the approaching columns, and will have to run hell-for-leather to escape with as many of his followers and captives as possible.
For Te Kooti, although the death toll had been low and he himself had escaped to carry on his resistance for another year-and-a-half, the skirmish on the Waioeka went on record as one of his worst disasters.

Adapted from a newspaper serial written by Frank Bodle, The Te Kooti Trail was based on the account of the sacking of Mill Farm at Te Poronu in volume 2 of James Cowan’s The New Zealand Wars.
The film’s release was delayed by the censor WH Tanner (at the request of Maui Pomare, then acting Minister of Internal Affairs) for a special screening to Maori MPs and elders of the Ringatu Church to ensure it did not offend Maori sensibilities.
Early in 2003 a special whanau screening for the descendants of characters, actors and personnel involved in the film was held at Te Hokowhitu-a-Tumatauenga Marae, Whakatane.

'Te Kooti Tango Whenua': The Native Land Court 1864-1909, by David V. Williams
Te Kooti tango whenua - the land-taking court - is the provocative title for a study of laws and Crown policies concerning the operation of the Native Land Court from 1864 to 1909.
Te Kooti tango whenua offers a picture of the court in action, with legislative practices that perhaps resulted in the most serious breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi to date, and ‘points the way to a future less contaminated by hurts arising from injustices of the past.’
