The main view is that they aren't automatically citizens under the 14th Amendment if born on tribal land, but there's a statute that does grant them citizenship regardless.

And at this point, most parents would be American citizens as well, so even without birthright they'd likely be able to get it through their parents.
Can I ask a different technicality?

For citizens that were given citizenship by statute- does what the menace is doing affect them? And I'm thinking of Puerto Rico here, since they were granted citizenship by statute so that they could be drafted for The Great War, and have been citizens ever since.

It would be ironic that dumpy "loses" his citizenship (his parents were not citizens when he was born) but people he has called trash keeps it under his decree.
 
Would/could people impacted by the ruling be stripped of citizenship if they currently have it, or would this have not impact future members of tribes, future Puerto Ricans, etc.? Something like that should be in the ruling if it goes the wrong way.

The current EO would be prospective only. But in the unlikely event it's upheld, there would be nothing stopping Trump from then doing a retroactive one. And at that point, we'd have gone full Calvinball anyway, so there would be no point in trying to game that one out.
