You are probably thinking of Worcester v. Georgia, 31 US 515 (1832), a case before the Marshall Court, in which eleven missionaries were arrested and sentenced to four years hard labor for living on Cherokee land without the requisite Georgia state permit.

The two missionaries most often named were Samuel Austin Worcester and Elizur Butler; however, historians note nine other missionaries were arrested at the same time (some accounts claim only seven).

Which Supreme Court case directly involved white missionaries aiding the Cherokee?

The Supreme Court case that directly involved white missionaries aiding the Cherokee is Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831). In this case, the Cherokee Nation sought to assert its sovereignty and protect its rights against state encroachments, with missionaries like Samuel Worcester supporting their cause. The Court ultimately ruled that the Cherokee Nation was a "domestic dependent nation," which limited their ability to assert sovereignty but acknowledged their rights. This case set the stage for further legal battles over Native American rights and state authority.
