Midlands representative Arme McNicol reminded the board her region had offered to host the forum at Turangawaewae Marae in Ngaruawahia, a national marae and neutral place for all Maori.
The first claim was settled in 1995 on Turangawaewae Marae, the home of the Maori Queen's own iwi (tribe), the people of Tainui.
During discussion on the proposal that NZNO host the 2012 forum, the Midlands BoD representative, Ann McNicol, proposed that Turangawaewae Marae be considered as the venue.
