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.

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.

Did the US Supreme Court case Worcester v. Georgia legally open Cherokee lands to mining?
No. The case had nothing to do with mining.Worcester v. Georgia (1832) addressed a Georgia law requiring whites living in Cherokee territory to obtain a permit from the state. When seven missionaries refused to follow the law, they were convicted and sentenced to four years hard labor.When the appeal reached the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Marshall stated the United States relationship to the Cherokee was that of two separate nations, giving the federal government the sole right of negotiation with the Native American nations, and barring Georgia from taking action against them. Marshall further opined that the government did not have the right of possession of Native American land, nor dominion over their laws, short of military conquest or legal purchase.According to Marshall, the Cherokee weren't bound by Georgia state law while in their own territory, and Georgia couldn't make laws regarding use of their territory.He also ordered Georgia to release the missionaries, which it did.

What was the US Supreme Court's decision in Cherokee Nation v Georgia?
The case of Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, (1831), involved a question of Supreme Court jurisdiction after the state of Georgia enacted a series of laws in 1828 that stripped Native Americans of their rights, in order to annex their land and force the Cherokee to leave the state.Fearing Georgia had the support of President Jackson, John Ross, Chief of the Cherokee Nation, led a delegation to Washington to plead for relief directly from Congress, bypassing the usual process of negotiating directly with the President. Although Ross found support in Congress, it was insufficient to overturn Georgia law.Ross then appealed directly to the US Supreme Court for an injunction against Georgia's laws. The Court determined it didn't have original jurisdiction over the matter because the Cherokee Nation was not a state but a "denominated domestic dependent nation." The injunction was denied, but the Court indicated it would be willing to review the matter on appeal from the lower courts.Case Citation:Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, 30 U.S. 1 (1831)
