What was the name of the US Supreme Court case that ruled in favor of the Cherokee?

In Worcester v. Georgia, the US Supreme Court decided the states (in this case, Georgia) had no right to redraw the boundaries of Native American territories, or to require white people to purchase a license to live on the land. As a result, the lower court decision convicting eleven missionaries of violating state law by refusing to purchase a permit to live on Cherokee land was reversed.Georgia ignored the order to stop interfering with the Cherokee's rights, and President Jackson made no effort to enforce the order because he had no legal obligation to do so, and sympathized with Georgia's interests.Case Citation:Worcester v. Georgia, 31 US 515 (1832)
