The TT are problably one of the richest bands in alberta next to the Hobema. They also administer all the royalty revenue that most if not all the indian bands receive through the IOGC. That's how they paid for that fancy building off of 37th street.
Even still, There is a limit as to the depth that is viable to a landowner. Therefore, the government could tunnel under their lands and they couldn't really do much about it. It is similar to having a limit above the surface of your land. You can't stop air traffic from flying over your property. The limit of your ownership of your property above and below the surface isn't really that far, relatively speaking.
