Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831) asked the Supreme Court to determine whether a state may impose its laws on Native Americans and their territory ... Instead, the Court ruled that it did not have jurisdiction over the case because the Cherokee Nation, was a "domestic dependent nation" instead of a "foreign state."
