Te Kooti Arikirangi has been remembered primarily as a warrior and prophetic leader. But he should be as well known as a composer of waiata (songs), along with the texts and sayings of the Ringatū church, which he founded. He is famous for the unique painted and carved Māori meeting-houses that he created in the later nineteenth century to teach history and to bring into existence a new Māori visual language of symbols. At the end of the New Zealand wars 1860–1872, Te Kooti carried his message of peace to Māori communities.
