Second, for all of Raven's talk about protecting the Branwen bandits, it appears that she is actually damning her tribe into extinction. In Remembrance, it is implied that the dying Huntsman said that the Grimm slaughtered not only the Shion/Xione villagers, but also the entire bandit force, save for Raven herself. The Huntsman said that bandits attacked, and then with all the panic, grimm followed. It was never said how closely the grimm followed, but Raven said they didn't expect the Grimm to be so quick. This was after Qrow said "I've seen the damage", possibly implying the bandit tribe to be harmed, and Raven did follow by saying the Grimm weren't expected so soon. So the dying huntsman didn't imply it, but Raven did. And we can't say that the entire bandit force besides Raven was killed either because we haven't seen it.
