These issues are starting to get a bit more coverage in some media, and they are gaining traction among activist groups as well. 2015 is going to be a big year for protesting one thing or another.

I hear some tribes might withdraw from the treaties that were signed, the reasoning being they consider them to have not been followed/violated.
