Born between 1800 and 1810,[2] Tāreha was the son of Oneone and Hāmene.[3] He added Te Moananui to his name following the death of Ngāti Kahungunu leader Kurupō Te Moananui in 1861.[4]

Tāreha was one of four Māori elected in 1868 for the new Māori electorates in the New Zealand Parliament, and he was the first of the four to speak in Parliament. He represented the electorate of Eastern Maori from 1868 to 1870, when he retired.[5]

He died on 19 December 1880, and his tangi and funeral took place at Waiohiki, near Taradale.[2] He had two surviving children, sons Te Roera Tāreha (1850s–1941) and Kurupō Tāreha (1871–1938).[1]
