He korero whakarapopoto
Ngā tīpuna
Whakapapa ai te iwi o Rangitāne i a Whātonga, te kaihautū o te waka a Kurahaupō. I pae te waka ki Te Māhia i te tai rāwhiti o Te Ika-a-Māui. I takea mai te ingoa o te iwi i a Rangitāne, te mokopuna a Whātonga. Ko tētahi o ōna ingoa ko Tānenui-a-rangi.
Ngā whenua
Ko Heretaunga te kāinga tuatahi o Rangitāne. Nāwai ā, ka heke whakatetonga ki ngā takiwā o Tāmakinui-a-Rua, o Te Wairarapa, o Te Whanganui-a-Tara, tae rawa atu ki Te Wairau i te tauihu o te waka a Māui. Ka hōrapa hoki a Rangitāne ki Manawatū me Horowhenua i te uru, ngā rohe nui o te iwi i ēnei rā.
Ngā piki, ngā heke
I te rau tau 1800 ka whakaekea ngā rohe o Rangitāne i te uru e ētahi iwi mai i te raki. Nō te taenga mai o te Pākehā ka riro te nuinga o ngā whenua i Manawatū me Tāmakinui-a-Rua. Ka huri a Rangitāne ki ngā mahi ahuwhenua i te rau tau 1900. Heoi, he nui te iwi i hoko i ō rātou pāmu ka neke ki ngā tāone.
Ngā rangatira
He tāngata kaha ngā kaiārahi o Rangitāne ki te arataki i te iwi i roto i ngā nekenekehanga o te ao hurihuri. Ka whakahaua te iwi kia mahi ngātahi me te Pākehā. I te rau tau 1900 ka rongohia te awe o ngā rangatira o Rangitāne i ngā take tōrangapū ā-rohe, ā-motu hoki.
Te ao hōu, ngā tikanga tuku iho
Nō te tau 1988 whakatūria ai Te Rūnanganui o Rangitāne, hei whakahuinga mō ngā komiti o te iwi kia kōrero i ngā take nui. E whitu ngā marae o te iwi, ā, nō ngā tau tata nei, kua hangā ētahi wharepuni hou. Tata ki te 4,700 ngā uri o Rangitāne i te tau 2013.
