Those that do activism mostly seek reparations over sovereignty.

This is probably what cripples them more than anything else, too. With honest leaders, a lot of the secondary problems that plague Amerindians could be resolved fairly quickly. But, instead of seeking to build successful communities, the Amerindian leaders prefer to guilt trip whites for reparations while their people continue to dissolve.

Leavening agent like a person or a physical catalyst?

A person, or a group. My belief is that the state of all people today is a degenerated husk of what they could become. The Amerindians could regain their former pride and even supersede it, but it would require a visionary who had the willpower to make it happen. Otherwise they are doomed to extinction. All I'm saying is that, should those visionaries become apparent to us, I'd support them.
