Cherokee Nation v. Georgia
Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, 30 U.S. 1 (1831), properly The Cherokee Nation v. The State of Georgia, was a United States Supreme Court decision.
In 1830, the Cherokee nation asked for an injunction, claiming that Georgia's state legislature had created laws which, "go directly to annihilate the Cherokees as a political society." The injunction was denied, on the grounds that the Cherokee people, not being a state, and claiming to be independant of the United States, were a domestic dependant nation, over which the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction.
