The Nunh should not expect, nor anticipate getting a harem of player-characters. The Nunh should be a more developed character that has a deep story beyond just being a "breeding male". He needs to seem like he truly deserves the title. Maybe even consider making the tribe's Nunh an NPC at first.

I think a council would work well for a Seeker tribe. It's easier on the OOC leader, it's fairer for the members and it will make your tribe look more attractive to those who may wish to join.
This, really. I love that, too, when you go to meet the U-tribe Nunh, he's basically spends all his time worrying about the future of his tribe. Not the player-stereotype of a Nunh.
Before I started playing, a bunch of C-tribe RPers worked out a very comprehensive precis on one branch of the C-tribe. One of the things they did was specify the leadership structure, which included a Jali (spiritual leader) and a council of elders (who made the day-to-day decisions about the tribe). I suspect they did that for exactly the same reasons that Kiht mentioned.
I'd love to hear how this goes, and possibly RP with you guys as it gets up and running. C'kayah runs a smuggling import/export business, so RP around trade contacts could be a lot of fun.
