Kipih Jakkya might just be missing the tribe letter. Or Squee flucked on their own lore. Again. I remember they had an NPC back in the day that also had the same "Looks like a Seeker, is named like a Keeper" problem and they solved it by claiming she was a half-breed or something.
Also, the only think in Sunseeker society shaped by the nunh is the last name for females and the adquisition of territory to the tribe. There's nothing implying that the nunh takes ownership of it for himself, or that he has more authority than the females who go with him. The only way you could apply patriarchy to their society as described by the lore, is to put too much importance on the breeding aspect of the nunh. Which is, really, the only aspect they have. That's all they do: have children. Any other type of authority is a coincidence.
The U tribe should be seen as the exception to the rule rather than the rule itself (which I know is problematic because there are no other tribes despicted in game). Again, I'm sure Squeenix just flopped on their own lore, but we have to work around their sillyness and the way to do that is to consider the U tribe an anomaly.
Or, I guess you could consider anything that isn't in the game as the anomaly. I guess that depends on where you think the Authorial Intent is.
EDIT: Woops! And this is what happens when you take too long on a post, folks. You miss on the post that was posted one minute before yours. :p
Still, leaving everything there just to state why I don't think the U tribe should be used as the go-to of Seeker culture.
