This is an ethical question without an objective, neutral answer; you will need to come up with your own answer depending on what you believe to be morally right. However, here are some things that should be considered:
1. "Tribe" is a tricky word to define. It can connote something literal about the political structure, like the number of people in a group and how they are organized. In traditional ethnography, it refers to a group of a few hundreds to a few thousands, led by a chief or headman whose authority is tied to his or her personal prestige, and whose position is not inheritable by their children.
"Tribe" can also refer to one's identity and lineage; for instance, in many modern societies, people know that they belong to a certain tribe because their family is descended from it, regardless of their current political situation. For someone who idenitifies themselves as belonging to a tribe, this is most often what they mean. They come from this tribe and are the carriers of its beliefs and traditions.
In law, it can refer to membership in a group recognized by a government as having some kind of right to autonomy due to their status as indigenous occupants of the land; this is what "federally recognized tribe" means in US law.
It can also be a somewhat pejorative term used to refer to any group following a traditional indigenous lifestyle, and because of this, many people consider the term offensive.
2. Everyone who lives in a "tribe" also lives in the same world as you, facing many of the same realities and opportunities. Even in the ancient world, we were all connected to each other by chains of political relaitionships and shared traditions. Nowadays, gloablaization and the expansion of historical, political, and economic empires have made the planet even more interconnected. Anywhere you go in the world, mastery of dominant political discourses and the accumulation of wealth in the form of currency are critical to one's success and happiness. It is probably impossible for any group to be fully "left alone", since everyone is affected strongly by global political and ecological realities.
On the other hand, the weight of responsibility of carrying on traditions and beliefs is not an unimportant consideration. To the extent that a tribe integrates into wider gloabl societies, there is a risk of losing the knowledge and unique perspective gained by living in a place for generation after generation. There are also economic and political costs to participating in global economy and politics, when one is starting from a disadvantaged position, as most tribal nations have. The realities of your life are strongly determined by your placement in the "First", "Second", or "Third Worlds". As occupants of disadvantaged regions within First World nations, many indigenous peoples say that they constitute a "Fourth World", one adjacent to the prosperous capitalist powerhouses but never quite allowed (or necessarily willing) to participate in them the same way a citizen of those countries would do.
3. The language this question uses is actually somewhat troubling, because it suggests that tribal societies are something to be "decided about" by elites in state socieites, rather than groups who have the ability to determine their own role in the world. If indeed you feel that "tribes" are groups who ought to have certain autonomous rights, (it seems to this editor that) one of the natural rights they ought to have is to decide for themselves the degree to which they will or will not participate in the political and economic life of their nation and planet.
