Yes. The Protectresses require the proximity of a herd to materialize (as per Nomad Gods rules, a herd unprotected by an entire clan, under any kind of attack), and probably use that significant number of beasts as their equivalent of a medicine bundle. Just possibly the leading cow or bull of the herd may wear a special harness or line that is part of the tribal regalia.

The typical means to summon a Praxian Founder is either using the tribal shaman, at least one clan, and possibly a sacrifice, or otherwise a Khan going into the Devils Marsh to manifest that founder.

The Ancestors manifest in the boardgame as well. If I recall correctly, they cannot move independently and require a clan to carry them along. This strongly hints to their being tied to the tribal regalia.
