Who are you going to have fly you into Arctic Village? Don't plan on getting much (any) help in Arctic Village unless you know someone there, also, don't leave anything unattended.
Also, everything on the east bank of the river is native land for many miles downstream. I don't know if there would be any caribou in that area at that time of year. Have you considered going later (late August-early September), and going further east and landing along a remote river rather than at a village? I really think you would have a better chance at getting in on the Porcupine heard migration than doing as you described.

The natives in Arctic Village used to give me caribou meat. But I used to work with them. Even back then they was known as hostile.

I did 2 early August hunts back when the Mulchatna herd was thriving, and the heat was a real problem. Had to get picked up early on the first hunt, do to getting 5 animals on the second day. We had more tags, but was pleny for us.

Caribou - Arctic - U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Central Arctic Caribou Herd As its name suggests, the Central Arctic Caribou herd roams the central region of northern Alaska. Smaller than the Porcupine Caribou herd, which travels throughout the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the Central Arctic herd was estimated at 70,000 in 2010 and has since declined to 22,000 in 2016.

If you live in a rural area, what do you think would happen to your hunting grounds if you were welcoming?
