As I've stated in other threads regarding seeker tribe placement, it's always been my headcanon that the tribes tend to settle or roam near where their particular "totem animal" settles or roams.
The in game examples we're given of settled tribes are the U and M tribes. U is drake, and if you head off into the Sagolii a bit you'll find wild drakes roaming about. M is marmot, and while you don't see any marmots wandering about in game in the Fringes... a marmot is generally a pretty well-versed creature that likely could be there... just not as a mob that we kill for in-game mechanics.
As you mentioned, lots of R miqo'te in La Noscea where raptors are plentiful, etc. etc.
So... that's what I personally do. Find out where, in game, that particular mob is plentiful... and say that my miqo'te are from those areas. For instance, C'vahn is coeurl.... and there's a pretty good handful of them in La Noscea... so his tribe is from there.
As for customs, how they live, etc. etc. I tend to do much like what Val said, as well. Make them live, fight, whatever in a similar fashion to their "totem animal". In general, they revere that particular animal just shy of the amount that they revere Azeyma the Warden.
There is a coeurl headcanon floating about in the wiki connected to this site. I personally don't agree with it for a number of reasons, but I feel it does pertain to your question.Â
Beyond that, I don't think there really is a community consensus.
