I doubt the Fire Nation managed to kill all of them. The most likely possibility is the survivors fled on bison to the Earth Kingdom and have hidden themselves. Even in real life its almost impossible as people generally are absorbed either into neighboring cultures or assimilated into the conquerors. The hiding possibility also holds weight as the survivors would most likely keep themselves hidden until it is once again safe, in other words until the Fire Nation is defeated.
