My character is a Seeker female who came from a fairly traditional miqo'te community. It's in her background now and factors in fairly heavily to why she left, and as a result, she has fairly strong feelings about traditional Seeker culture (she loves her immediate family -- mostly -- but hates their culture). That said, she's not especially a fan of the city-states' cultures either, though she identifies most with the underlying themes (freedom and self-sufficiency, but working together to common goals) of Limsa Lominsan culture.
IMO, all miqo'te should have some strong feelings about their traditional culture, because it's both still around and also very different from the norms of the other races and the city-states. A miqo'te can love it, hate it, or not know anything about it (for instance, if they were born and raised in a city-state), but I don't think any miqo'te could know of their traditional culture and be wholly indifferent towards it.
I'm going to agree with you here. My character is a Seeker male from a family of Miqo'te that broke off from the tribe in favor of living in a city-state. He's a few generations away from the break, but still knows of his cultural heritage through tales. Because of how he was raised and the such, he doesn't much care for the culture of his tribal "brethren". He respects their decision, but just admits that it's a culture he doesn't really like. He's a follower of a much more typical set of traditions.
