Cherokee Indians
The Cherokee tribe adopted a constitution in 1827 in the hopes of being able to hold on to their land in the US state of Georgia. This written constitution declared the Cherokee to be a sovereign nation. They based this on United States policy; in former treaties, Indian nations had been declared sovereign so they would be legally capable of ceding their lands.
