It wasn't a state, but the government. Eventually they did recognize the Native American tribes as independent nations and made treaties with them. Often, though, the treaties were broken by the government.
The Georgia state flower is the Cherokee Rose.
When John Marshall sided with the Cherokee in the landmark case Worcester v. Georgia, the state of Georgia reacted with defiance. Governor George Gilmer and state officials refused to enforce the Supreme Court's ruling, asserting their authority over Cherokee lands and continuing to pursue policies that facilitated the removal of Native Americans. This resistance highlighted the tensions between state and federal authority, ultimately leading to the tragic Trail of Tears.
President Andrew Jackson refused to enforce the Supreme Court's ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832), which recognized the Cherokee Nation as a sovereign entity. Jackson's administration largely ignored the decision, leading to the forced removal of the Cherokee people, known as the Trail of Tears. His defiance of the Court's authority exemplified the tensions between federal and state power during that era.

The Cherokee were the only tribe that refused to leave Georgia due to their established agricultural society, legal recognition, and attempts to assimilate into European-American culture, including adopting a written language and creating a constitution. They sought to protect their land and rights through legal means, challenging the state and federal government in court. This resistance ultimately culminated in the infamous Trail of Tears, where despite their efforts, they were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands.
