When her father died in 1860, Te Paea was one of the individuals put forward to succeed him as leader of the King Movement, but her brother Matutaera (Tāwhiao) was chosen instead. She continued to play a leadership role within the King Movement. Te Paea Tīaho's husband was Ēpiha Pūtini, a prominent Ngāti Tamaoho chief.
