They had a generous land swap, and were to be given enough money to set the band up for the next 100 years or more (assuming they invested it wisely). Their chief, 2 days before the vote, endorsed it. For some reason, some got nervous because of technicalities, IIRC basically that they didn't trust that the land they'd were to get in the swap was going to actually be the land they got, because the province couldn't provide them with the land titles on the spot.
