But some tribes may have multiple nuhns, so ultimately, it's a case-by-case basis. Maybe a Nuhn does a vote of what his people want. Maybe the Tia have also some control on the tribe, like in example the Forgotten Sands tribe, it's really depending on the tribe.

Like, I'm just not used to the idea of having like an alpha male type of thing. I've never done anything remotely close to being related to that, so integrating it into my character is going to be a challenge for me. Nothing I can't handle, I don't think, but I'll need to read up a bit more on it and let it sink in I suppose.
I may be wrong here, but I was under the impression that it's not necessarily the Nunh that leads, and therefore becomes "alpha male", in every tribe. Sometimes he does take on the leadership role, but I think that's by no means a given...?
Again, I might be wrong, since I am not big on the miq'ote social structure, as fascinating as it is, tribe structure isn't my thing.
