I think you've identified precisely why tribal culture would have helped octopodes: (never thought I'd be saying that today)
1. Before writing, technology was passed down through word of mouth from elders to younger generations in tribes.
2. Rearing/protecting young is assigned to specialized members of the tribe while others hunt/gather resources.
