Hola, y bienvenido al foro.

No, no se escribe con tilde: indios.

Lo correcto es "indios", sin la tilde, ya que es una palabra llana acabada en ese. Por cierto, no puedes usar el subjuntivo; tienes que decir "se escribe".

indio(a) has no accent, therefore, the stress falls on the initial "i" (the word is grave. in-dio, in-dia

indios(as) is likewise grave so the stress would also fall on the intial "i" in-dios, in-dias

Aside: from a subsequent discussion it seems that llana and grave are synonyms. (and there is an error in our dictionary describing llana.)
