If you're a Seeker you're in luck. There's a Seeker tribe at the Forgotten Springs in game that gives us a detailed look at Seeker tribal culture. It doesn't give us all the answers we'd like, but it's a lot more than nothing. Check it out when you can.
I've been there, done all the quests there, and I was deeply disappointed with it. There's very little that distinguishes them from any other race or any other settlement in the game.
The only 'tribal' thing they do is hunt, which is a fate that pops up now and again and a briefly mentioned affair in a quest that is half as long or prominent as the one where you have to chase away people oggling the bathing cat girls. Even the important NPCs could either just as easily be city folk of any race for all the cultural difference they show, there's nothing about them that makes them distinctly Miqo'te.
Two rival Tia vying for dominance is all the 'detail' we get, and they both have all the personality and ambition of plaster. The same amount of factual information you can pry out of them is summed up in the 'naming conventions' article.
And the nunh is a terrible, played up trope of 'lol cat people'. He rolls his R's and he's sassy! Groan. And on top of that the naming conventions article goes out of its way to mention that Nunh are NOT leaders of their tribes, but he is, for whatever reason. If the lore's self contradicting, you can't say either interpretation is definitively right.
It all hardly amounts to more than nothing.
The way the Miqo'te are handled as a race is a joke.
Please read all the above with a soothing, British accented monotone.
