Sometimes separate groups merged with each other to form new groups. Alternatively, very large and strong whānau (extended families) might develop into hapū in their own right. Recognition by other groups as a separate and new hapū was important. New sub-tribes were recognised if, for example, they had a leader with mana and skill in diplomacy, if they were able to strengthen the identity of the hapū by political marriages, or if they were known for their fighting prowess.

About the same time, the Te Āti Awa leader Wī Tako Ngātata and a war party were returning south. They made their way to Heretaunga (the Hutt Valley) and attacked the Ngāti Kahukura-awhitia settlement called Puniunuku. Their aim was to avenge the death of the Ngāti Mutunga chief, Te Momi. In gratitude Patukawenga of Ngāti Mutunga made Waiwhetū, the area east of the Heretaunga (Hutt) River mouth, tapu (sacred) for the Ngāmotu people.

Ngāi Tai redeemed their chief’s head in exchange for the greenstone adze named Waiwharangi, which they gave to the Te Whakatōhea victors. Waiwharangi is now held in the Whakatāne Museum.

These enterprises stopped with the wars of the 1860s and 1870s. Te Arawa took up arms to defend their customary lands, waterways and resources. Under the leadership of Tohi Te Ururangi and Te Pōkiha at the battle of Te Kaokaoroa, Te Arawa demonstrated their allegiance to the Crown. They also extinguished any possibility that their traditional enemies (Ngāi Te Rangi and Ngāti Awa) would try to re-assert any authority from Wairaki to Matatā.

In this image, from the end of the wars in Waikato in 1864, Gustavus von Tempsky portrays a group of Māori preparing to fight. Von Tempsky was a Prussian who commanded a company of Forest Rangers, drawn together in the hopes of matching Māori bush tactics.

About this time Te Rauparaha's wife Marore was killed in Waikato while attending a funeral. In revenge he and her relations killed a Waikato chief on a pathway where travellers had safe conduct. In 1820 several thousand Waikato and Ngati Maniapoto warriors invaded Kawhia. Ngati Toa was defeated at Te Kakara, near Lake Taharoa, and Waikawau pa, south of Tirau Point, was captured. Te Rauparaha withdrew to Te Arawi pa, near Kawhia Harbour, which was besieged. Among the besiegers were relations of Ngati Toa who did not wish to see the tribe exterminated. Ngati Maniapoto leader Te Rangi-tua-taka secretly supplied food to the pa and advised Te Rauparaha to take refuge with Te Ati Awa in Taranaki. Te Rauparaha had considered fleeing east to his Ngati Raukawa relations, but the way was blocked by hostile forces. Because many were closely related to Waikato tribes they were allowed to leave Kawhia and begin the first section of their migration to the south, known as Te Heke Tahu-tahu-ahi.

Te Rauparaha went to Sydney in 1830 where he met Samuel Marsden, the chaplain of New South Wales. The ship that returned him to Kapiti is said to have taken him and his warriors to Rangitoto (D'Urville Island), where they captured Ngati Kuia refugees, and to have transported them to Kapiti. In 1831 Te Rauparaha again besieged Kaiapoi pa and captured the pa by sapping and by firing the palisades. He returned to Akaroa and took the pa Onawe, and then returned to Kapiti, leaving his allies and some of his own people to rule over the enslaved tribes. Meanwhile the migrant tribes in the south-west of the North Island, none of which accepted Te Rauparaha's authority, were competing with each other and with the original inhabitants for land and resources. Fighting broke out between Ngati Raukawa and Te Ati Awa in 1834; this threatened Te Rauparaha's leadership, as he was allied to Ngati Raukawa. Other Ngati Toa, led by Te Hiko-o-te-rangi, the son of Te Pehi Kupe, supported Te Ati Awa and besieged Te Rauparaha at the Rangiuru Stream. He had to appeal to the Ngati Tuwharetoa leader Mananui Te Heuheu Tukino II for help. When peace was made Te Rauparaha at first intended to return to the north with Mananui. But he was persuaded to stay by Te Rangihaeata and went back to Kapiti. By the mid 1830s Te Rauparaha and his allies had conquered the south-west of the North Island and most of the northern half of the South Island.

Tahupotiki Wiremu Ratana died at Ratana pa on 18 September 1939, survived by both wives, three daughters and three sons. He was buried before the temple on 24 September. His tangihanga was attended by thousands and lasted a week. He had founded a national Maori church that melded the political and spiritual in a way aimed for but not previously achieved by any other Maori leader. In doing so, he had provided charismatic leadership at a national level, and had set a course followed by his political representatives and spiritual successors. To his Maori opponents and many Pakeha he was a charlatan and an over-ambitious politician. In his lifetime, those who initially ignored him saw his church firmly established and his political movement becoming victorious in the polls. Both church and party endured as powerful forces.

Whalers and other European ships had been trading at Kapiti since 1827. Te Rauparaha's power over his allied tribes rested on his control of the trade in arms and ammunition. Captives were taken to Kapiti to scrape flax to be traded for muskets, powder and tobacco. He also wanted to control the supply of greenstone, and the South Island, where greenstone was to be found, was open to conquest as the tribes there had not yet acquired guns. Some of their chiefs had insulted him and some had fought against Ngati Toa at Waiorua. About 1827 Te Rauparaha took a war party across Cook Strait to Wairau, where several Rangitane pa were taken. A year or so later a larger invasion fleet left Kapiti. Te Ati Awa attacked the territory around Te Ara-a-Paoa (Queen Charlotte Sound), while Te Rauparaha, with 340 warriors mostly armed with guns, entered Te Hoiere (Pelorus Sound) and heavily defeated Ngati Kuia at Hikapu. At Kaikoura many Ngai Tahu were taken by surprise and killed or enslaved.

Initially, with the fear of bubonic plague strong, the Liberal government supported projects for health and social reform. District Maori councils devised regulations on sanitation and hygiene; sanitary inspectors were appointed, usually selected from the leading chiefs who had the mana to insist on their instructions being obeyed. Pomare himself embarked on a regular programme of visiting villages, often travelling miles on foot to inspect the water supply, rubbish disposal and sanitary arrangements and to help the sick. He was concerned about the health risks of deserted whare, and in three years burnt 1,900 of them.

As a leading member of Te Kotahitanga, Tuhaere was elected in 1888 to a national committee to represent Maori interests to the government. Tuhaere wished to hold the government to the terms of the Treaty of Waitangi and to use remaining Maori land as an economic base for the Maori people. At the same time he accepted that the Maori were living under the rule of the European government and would not gain from confrontation with it. He worked to reconcile the King movement with the government after the wars of the 1860s. At the King movement conference at Whatiwhatihoe in 1882 Tuhaere encouraged Tawhiao, the Maori King, to give up his isolation. The King embarked soon after on a tour of the North Island and appealed to Britain to grant the Maori security of land ownership and self rule. Tuhaere would have accompanied Tawhiao when he and his followers took a petition to England in 1884, but was too ill to travel.

Tamarau was a member of the Tuhoe body of chiefs known as Te Whitu Tekau (the seventy), set up mainly to establish an administrative structure and laws for the tribal group independent of government control. In September 1872 he was the only Tuhoe leader in favour of having a road built from Wairoa to Waikaremoana. Despite strong opposition from other prominent Tuhoe leaders, he swayed them with his eloquence and determination.

Te Arawa also faced enemy tribes, such as Ngāpuhi, armed with muskets obtained from Europeans. Te Arawa retreated to Mokoia with all the district’s canoes in tow, confident that they were safe from the muskets of the Ngāpuhi leader Hongi Hika. But their coastal enemies, Ngāi Te Rangi, assisted Ngāpuhi in portaging canoes from the headwaters of the Pongakawa across to Lake Rotoehu. The tables were turned and Te Arawa were taken by surprise. The resulting massacre of 1823 left all Te Arawa tribes demoralised by their inability to counter firearms. They even contemplated migrating south with Ngāti Toa to seek the protection of Te Rauparaha’s muskets on Kapiti Island.

Because they lived so far from centres of trade, Tūhoe contact with Europeans came much later than for other tribes. But they did trade with other Māori for European goods such as livestock and seeds. Their first major contact with Europeans came during the wars of the 1860s. Tūhoe fought the government in the battle of Ōrākau in 1864. They were wrongly accused of being in rebellion when a missionary was killed in Ōpōtiki, and their fertile lands were taken. Worse was to follow when government troops invaded Te Urewera in search of Te Kooti Arikirangi, a prophet and resistance leader from the East Coast.
