Do they have a strong connection to their culture?

How well do they deal with grief?

Do they have a strong connection to their culture?

Very much so. Here's some links: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. And those were just the ones I've been able to start compiling! She takes it very seriously that she's the last member of her branch of the J Tribe - the last one who will know the lore, the stories, the culture. The Jackal, as she knows it, will be no more when she's dead, and that weighs heavily on her. It makes her ponder, pretty frequently, what it means to revere the Jackal, if she's alone in it now. The whole belief around it was based on a tribe - and the togetherness of surviving when the world is against you. And being alone as she is, she's started her own little spin on a tradition they'd do for the dead, and instead at Heaven's Turn each year, she makes the kind of bone-pyre you'd have made for a fallen member of the tribe, and burns that in honor of all the fallen members of her tribe. There were no bodies, after what Garlemald did - so she's had to find a way to mourn that feels right for her - and for the Jackal, that it can guide their souls to the lifestream. Hopefully. Even though the bones aren't really theirs. If that's even how it works. She just... wants to honor the people she loved most, and she's trying to find more ways to do that, now that she can stop operating purely out of fear and paranoia.

How well do they deal with grief?

As mentioned above, about the pyre! I've written about it a couple times, too - they're probably linked in my carrd, on the page with all (most) of my writing for her! But to sum it up, she doesn't handle it well! She lost everyone. Every single person in her life - to Garlemald. her family. Her community. Her culture.

Gone.

How do you cope with that? When does the mourning of a culture stop? If you stop grieving, then they're really dead. They're gone, then. She's operating around a major loss, and always will be. She's trying to find ways to grieve, and try to let go of some of the guilt around being the one who survived, though. One of those ways, is the pyre she lights - it helps, to feel like she's keeping their memory alive. But it troubles her, that maybe she should try keep the culture alive, somehow, despite the fact that she'll never have a family, or be able to re-start the tribe, with how she lives her life now. She believes in actions - so her grief is, similarly, often dealt with in actions.

i don't think the branwen tribe under raven's leadership operates under the "the weak die, the strong live" rule.

they did, back when raven and qrow were kids—raven points out the rule like qrow should know it—but once raven took over... the bartender sees shay as nuisance rather than a genuine threat; the tribesmen get their asses kicked more often than not; they rely on numbers, not individual strength; more notably, when yang demands raven to send her to qrow, damn it, the tribesmen don't take too kindly to it: "that's enough! you watch your mouth in front of our leader!"

if the weak die, the strong live, you'd probably expect your leader to be able to stand up for herself in the face of demands and some light swearing, daughter or not. instead, the tribesmen don't wait for that, they step in on their own.

shay threatens yang: "when raven finds out what you did, you're dead!" <- there's an expectation, trust, that if they can't deal with something, raven will take care of it for them. and when shay finds out that yang is raven's daughter, he thinks it's him who's going to be dead. maybe he was being a tad dramatic, but the next time we see him, he's on guard duty.

if there was any punishment for his actions, all it would have amounted to was guard duty. the weak die, the strong live, you fucked up so i guess you're off to guard duty.

based on the bartender, the citizen living outside the kingdom walls in anima aren't super afraid of the bandits in general; they are, however, afraid of raven. the tribesmen aren't, though, but they seem to be of vernal (the "spring maiden"), if these two bandits and their differing reactions and behavior around the two are anything to go by:

it's a night and day. almost literally lol

the bandits respect raven without any hint of fear, they're willing to throw hands for her (unless they're against a maiden, that is, then she's on her own lol), in a sense, under raven's leadership, they are a family; the kind that goes "i've got your back, you've got mine".

i have no doubt this wasn't the case back when the twins were kids—qrow wasn't wanted after his semblance manifested for crying out loud—but things have clearly changed, since then.
