This article draws on philological provenance research to trace the history of "Toto-vaca," a Māori chant that continues to circulate today as a supposed sound poem allegedly created by Tristan Tzara. In addition to exploring the appropriation, decontextualization, and reinterpretation of the poem, this article focuses primarily on its origin, which can be traced back to the notebook of an ethnologist. Collaboration with local actors from the source communities proved to be a good way by which autochthonous approaches to the text could be placed on an equal footing with the Western circulation of the documented orature. This article presents the results of this kind of collaborative research into "Toto-vaca" and outlines what the findings of philological provenance research can mean for the publication of appropriated oral literature
