Even with a few survivers who managed to aviod such traps, their culture would be bound to fade over the 100 years before Aang returned, and via Airbending's connection to Air Nomad culture, their style of bending along with it. Any remenants most likely had their genes diffused among the surrounding nations, or no longer have the bending ability despite being relatively pure descendants (due to a mental disconnect with their former culture, as would happen over time & especially with the major changes in life-style that the War would press upon them).
