A Māori charitable trust in Queenstown is accusing Bunnings Warehouse of wanting cultural performers on the cheap.
Mana Tāhuna says it was asked to do a dawn karakia and waiata to open a new store but the company went looking elsewhere when it was told the fee would be $500.
The trust is furious but Bunnings insists there's been a misunderstanding.
Te Aorewa Rolleston has this story.
