Ritual Negotiation question

"Each clan has a territory, called a tula, established after ritual negotiation with the deities of the land." Thunder Rebels, page 22

A lot of space is given to describing in detail the social mechanics of the tula and the uses thereof; this can provide the meat for a number of interesting adventures. However, I could find no "hard and fast" details of the "ritual negotiation" involved in determining the tula. I realize it's likely that individual variation is enough to invalidate most "hard and fast" guidelines, but it would be helpful to at least have an example of what is involved. Does the new clan chief do the negotiation? Is more mundane negotiations with the leaders of neighboring clans involved? What kind of "deities of the land" are there?

Thanks in advance to anyone who gives any thought to these questions!
