    Abstract
    This paper advocates for change regarding commodification of Mäori rituals in sport, arguing that haka are important taonga, symbolising Mäori practices of knowledge transmission. Indigenous research methodologies based on Kaupapa Mäori theory were utilised in this study. The literature reviewed highlights ongoing commodification of “Ka Mate” (a haka composed by Ngäti Toa chief Te Rauparaha) by transnational corporations in sport-related settings. A critique of promotional advertisements for sport events illustrates how recent legislation has had minimal impact. Further, it presents three examples, which coincided with the 2015 Rugby World Cup, of how corporate sponsors used haka for commercial purposes. This study includes püräkau of three pükenga immersed in te ao Mäori, who suggest that haka, including “Ka Mate”, should be treasured rather than traded by non-Mäori, to ensure wellbeing of Mäori and their taonga tuku iho. Conclusions provide recommendations for sport marketing researchers and practitioners alike.
