Te Wheoro was born in the Waikato. His father was Te Kanawa, a chief of the Ngāti Mahuta and Ngāti Naho iwi.[1] He was a strong supporter of Pakeha economic concepts and institutions; at a great meeting at Paetai, near Rangiriri, in May 1857, he spoke against a proposal to install Te Wherowhero of Ngati Mahuta as Maori King arguing that the title of "King" appeared to place Te Wherowhero above the Governor. In 1862 he was appointed the chief assessor, who acted as local magistrate and chief of police, in charge of the official runanga at Te Kohekohe, south of Meremere. He asked that a wooden courthouse be built there for magistrate John Gorst, and suggested that Maori youths be drilled to keep order. Timbers for the courthouse were thrown into the river in March 1863 as tensions between Kingites and the government grew. Lieutenant General Duncan Cameron appointed him a captain in the colonial militia and Te Wheoro joined Waata Kukutai in ferrying supplies from steamers at the Waikato Heads to the Camerontown redoubt, until the supply line was severed by a Ngati Maniapoto attack in September 1863.[1] From late 1863 Te Wheoro began to act as intermediary between the Government and the King movement and in 1865 became an assessor in the Native Land Court. In 1873 he was appointed major in the colonial forces and two years later was appointed a native commissioner, continuing to assist in negotiations between the King movement and the Government.[1] Te Wheoro resigned as a native commissioner in 1879, disenchanted with his role and believing his people were treated unfairly. On 8 September 1879 he was elected to Parliament as the representative for Western Maori, defeating defeated Hoani Taipua after Hoani Nahe's retirement.[2][3] In the {{NZ election link|1881}}, he had three challengers, but received 69 percent of the vote.[4] In the {{NZ election link|1884}}, he was one of eight candidates and came third.[5]{{sfn|Wilson|1985|p=245}} {{NZ parlbox header|nolist=true |align=right }}{{NZ parlbox |term=7th |start={{NZ election link year|1879}} |end=1881 |party=Independent politician |electorate=Western Maori }}{{NZ parlbox |term=8th |start={{NZ election link year|1881}} |end=1884 |party=Independent politician |electorate=Western Maori }}{{NZ parlbox footer}} He was defeated by Te Puke Te Ao,{{sfn|Wilson|1985|p=180}} with Te Keepa Te Rangihiwinui in second place.[5] In the {{By-election link|Western Maori|1886}}, he came second out of five candidates.[6][7] In the {{NZ election link|1887}}, he came second out of five candidates.[8][9] Notes1. ^1 2 {{DNZB|Scott|Gary|1t87|Te Wheoro, Wiremu Te Morehu Maipapa|15 March 2014}} 2. ^{{cite news |title=The Western Maori District |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=NZH18790902.2.29 |accessdate=15 March 2014 |work=The New Zealand Herald |date=2 September 1879 |volume=XVI |issue=5552 |page=4}} 3. ^{{cite news |title=Speech by Mr. Te Wheoro, M.H.R. |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=NZH18790918.2.34 |accessdate=15 March 2014 |work=The New Zealand Herald |date=18 September 1879 |volume=XVI |issue=5566 |page=6}} 4. ^{{cite news |title=Wellington |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=WH18811213.2.7.6 |accessdate=15 March 2014 |work=Wanganui Herald |date=13 December 1881 |volume=XV |issue=4542 |page=2}} 5. ^1 {{cite news |title=The Western Maori Election |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=WT18840805.2.20 |accessdate=15 March 2014 |work=Waikato Times |date=5 August 1884 |volume=XXIII |issue=1885 |page=3}} 6. ^{{cite news |title=Wanganui Herald |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=WH18870111.2.8 |accessdate=16 March 2014 |work=Wanganui Herald |date=11 January 1887 |volume=XXI |issue=6117 |page=2}} 7. ^{{cite news |title=The Western Maori Election |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=EP18861230.2.14 |accessdate=16 March 2014 |work=The Evening Post |date=30 December 1886 |volume=XXXII |issue=191 |page=2}} 8. ^{{cite news |title=The Maori Election |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=TS18870919.2.29.5 |accessdate=15 March 2014 |work=The Star |date=19 September 1887 |issue=6036 |page=3}} 9. ^{{cite news |title=The Maori Election |url= http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=EP18870919.2.42 |accessdate=15 March 2014 |work=The Evening Post |date=19 September 1887 |volume=XXXIV |issue=69 |page=3}} References
