 * 2) Talk to Daniel.
 * 3) Tell Waking Cloud the truth or lie to her.

Detailed walkthrough
First, talk to Waking Cloud about her family, she will then ask you to talk to Daniel about them. After much hesitation he will tell you that her three children have survived, but her husband died protecting them from a White Legs attack. Daniel will beg you not to tell Waking Cloud out of fear her grief will render her useless, but you can convince him otherwise. At this point you can either tell Waking Cloud the truth or a lie. Lying to her results in bad karma and the bad portion of her ending, while telling the truth does not result in any karma, but it does gain the good portion of her ending.

If you told her the truth at first she will be angry at Daniel but her ending reveals that later on she will forgive Daniel for his sins of not telling her the truth, and her grief about her husband will be buried in thoughts. Finally she got a new husband, someone from the Dead Horses tribe and he stayed close to home at her request.

If you lied to her, she will be resentful of Daniel and the New Canaanites and poison her tribe against their teachings, making relations very difficult between the Sorrows and the New Canaanites from time to time.
