In 1856 Heremaia signed Te Ture mo ngā Whenua Rahui o ngā Tangata Māori I Niu Tirani on behalf of Pakihi, which was an agreement between the Crown and Ngāti Tama over the release of the Ohariu Block on the West Coast of Wellington.

By 1898 Pakihi was deceased but his descendants had been appointed his share of the Wellington Tenths.
