His academic interests have focused on traditional Māori history, and particularly that of Te Waipounamu – the South Island. Over his lifetime, Tā Tipene has published and lectured extensively on Ngāi Tahu traditional history, Polynesian migration, Treaty issues, and the evolution of biculturalism.

More recently, he can often be found at the Ngāi Tahu Archive, where he has tirelessly worked to record and protect the knowledge of Ngāi Tahu for future generations, since first founding the archive in 1978. He has served as the inaugural chair of Te Pae Kōrako, the Ngāi Tahu Archive Advisory Committee since 2012.
