Abstract: Indigenous voices are rising across the world. Indigenous people and culture exist in sport, although it is challenging to hear their voices in sport management. A review of the published journal articles in the main sport management journals revealed that Indigenous voices and an understanding of Indigenous issues are largely absent. This article highlights the challenges of publishing articles that include Indigenous voices and, demonstrates an attempt for Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors within Aotearoa (New Zealand) to genuinely work in partnership. The pertinent literature in the field is summarised highlighting the literature published by Indigenous authors. The Ringa Raupā model to test the veracity of a Kaupapa Māori approach is introduced as a reflective tool to frame the lived experiences in sport and academia of the Māori authors. We collectively reflect on how to be responsive to the provisions and principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi as Tangata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti in a sport management and university context. Questions of positionality, criticality, self-determination, access, authorship, praxicality and dissemination are raised, to challenge readers, and enable Indigenous scholars’ voices to be heard on their, not Western, terms.
