What is the significance of the different colored bandanas? What does this detail help us understand about the daughter's situation? About the larger context for the poems?

I believe that the different colored bandanas help indicate the rigions that they are from, or they are people who they know that have successfully crossed the border from the same village that she lives in. This helps us understand that the people in the yellow Bandanas are safe to go up to when crossing. They are experienced and may be able to help protect her compared to the other bandana colors.
