This depends entirely on 'which set' of Cherokee's you are referring to, as there are many different ones.
1) Western Band Cherokee's, members of "The Cherokee Nation" have no rights under their own constitution, or the constitution of the United States - as the BIA's approval process made them a "political state" under the direction and in "Trust" of the United States. (Please note that US Citizens have no constitutional rights under US Supreme Court decisions; any right maybe violated by government and the citizen must know of that right and complain of its violation before they can take advantage of that right.)
2) Eastern Band Cherokee's - members of the enrolled tribal government of that eastern band have no rights, the same as Western Band Cherokee's as they were made citizens of the State of Tennessee (and by proxy United States Citizens) to avoid removal under the Indian Removal Act.
3) Non tribal affiliated Cherokee's - those that have never been a member of the above two nations, or who have expatriated (USC Title 8) and returned to the original Cherokee nation have all rights of freeholder men, and may collectively, as well as individually, invoke the rights of treaties held by that nation as well as carry on negotiations with other nations.
(Of course those Indians who attempt this are arrested by Homeland Security as "Domestic Terrorists" and held in jail without trial, in an attempt to silence them by process).
