I always ending up siding with Joshua Graham. Mainly because it seems like the other guy (david?) is just doing a really basic "noble savage / white saviour" routine. Like his "solution" is to just pack up and leave in order for the people to preserve some inherent quality of "innocence" he thinks they possess. He would rather have them hounded for the rest of their existence, than do something that challenges his perception of them.

On the other hand Joshua Graham is a mormon

Nope, and the Dead Horses are already war-like. The Sorrows are the ones that are relatively peaceful.

Here's the quote from siding with Graham about the Dead Horses:

They remained neutral toward the Sorrows, but as years went on, there were periods of competitive friction, even violence, between the tribes.

And here's the quote about the Sorrows:

The Sorrows' transformation from a peaceful, timid tribe into a merciless, warlike people broke Daniel's heart. Over time, the Sorrows became ever more ruthless in their dealings - even with each other.

Of course it changes a bit depending on whether Salt-Upon-Legs is killed by the courier, spared, or let go. But it's absolutely canon that Sorrows and Dead Horses fight and become more brutal.

I remember something about them preserving their innocence or something

Daniel mourns the loss of their innocence in the Graham ending and that's the only ending that mentions innocence.
