This reminds me of Lewis and Clark, traveling the great divide. Almost dying and being saved by strangers (saved by a woman of the tribe who was helped by some of the good white people), which were the Nimiipuu, though they are called the Nez Perce Indians (which means pierced nose, which they never did, was a tribe north of them), first time trying camas bulbs which do amazingly taste like raisins, and getting sick. Of course they were going to the Pacific Ocean, not the Black Sea. The Black Sea can also been seen as a area the is covered with cooled lava. How the white man tried to change them with religion, which theirs was just fine. Finally they are singing to earth which is their mother, and a shrine.
Guess this is why so many things can be taken from a poem, words have so many meanings depending on how you look at them.
