Yes, it was. The Cherokee people were still under the jurisdiction of the US.
About 200 years ago the Cherokee Indians were one tribe, or "Indian Nation" that lived in the southeast part of what is now the United States. During the 1830's and 1840's, the period covered by the Indian Removal Act, many Cherokees were moved west to a territory that is now the State of Oklahoma.

The Cherokee Nation is known for traveling the farthest to reach Indian Territory during the Trail of Tears, covering approximately 1,200 miles. This forced relocation occurred in the 1830s as part of the Indian Removal policy, resulting in significant suffering and loss of life. Other tribes, such as the Creek and Seminole, also faced long journeys, but the Cherokee's trek is often highlighted for its distance and impact.

No one won the case Cherokee Nation v Georgia, (1831). The US Supreme Court determined it didn't have authority to hear the case under original (trial) jurisdiction because the Cherokee Nation didn't qualify as a State. Chief Justice Marshall indicated the Court would hear the case on appeal. Unfortunately, the Cherokee didn't refile in the lower courts, so their case was never officially heard.For practical purposes, the Cherokee lost because they were unable to negotiate the federal judicial system to get a favorable ruling before the US government removed them from their ancestral land in the tragedy that became known as The Trail of Tears.Case Citation:Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, 30 U.S. 1 (1831)
The United States never officially recognized the Cherokee Nation's independence. While the Cherokee Nation operated with a degree of autonomy and established treaties with the U.S. government, including the Treaty of New Echota in 1835, this treaty was highly controversial and not representative of the broader Cherokee populace. The U.S. government forcibly removed many Cherokee people during the Trail of Tears in the late 1830s, undermining any semblance of recognized independence.
The Cherokee Mounted Rifles were not a firearm, but a Cavalry unit of the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. This military unit consisted of members of the Cherokee Nation that served as part of the Confederate Army.
