The Management School of Restorative Business (MSRB) has launched a human rights campaign to restore land and identity to the world’s dispossessed indigenous peoples, especially in New Zealand, Palestine and Canada.

The following petition to compensate Maori highlights our ongoing campaign.

Petition Summary: The Bank of New South Wales, later Westpac Banking Corporation, opened seven branches in New Zealand in 1861, which facilitated and was enormously enriched by the theft of Maori land, gold and other resources.

By the 1890s, within two generations, the Maori population was decimated (reduced by 84 percent from more than 250,000 to about 40,000), and most of Maori land was stolen (66.4 million acres in 1840, now only 3 million acres.)

MSRB is calling on world citizens and ethical investors to boycott Westpac New Zealand until such time the bank and their major shareholders have compensated Maori, helped the deprived New Zealanders and stopped their predatory banking practices.

Support Our Call to Boycott Westpac Bank. Petition is posted at  http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/679477073
