Given that CBP and ICE have been hassling Native folks on or near their own reservation lands, the tribe has little reason to give Trump the fucking time of day.
Issues caused by a large number of people (ANY people) crossing the reservation might be possible to get a handle on by taking measures to make the crossing as fast and easy as possible.
Also remember that a hell of a lot of migrants are more Indigenous than they are anything else, and a significant fraction of them come from surviving Indigenous villages that have been under considerable pressure. Some of them don't even speak Spanish, only their people's original language.
The tribe will decide for themselves how to handle this, and Trump literally has no more authority over them than I do.
