What were the circumstances of Cherokee Nation v Georgia?
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.

Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, 30 U.S. 1 (1831)

Cherokee Indians rituals and rites of passage?
There were 14 Tsalagi clans; this has been reduced to 7. Each clan had different 'requirements' but the basics were that the male would be able to do all that an adult male could do (hunt, fish, etc). At that point the male would fast and go on a vision quest (dream quest) alone, and away from others. (this is the same basic ritual observed by many indigenous tribes). Please note that specifics can and have changed based on family clans and location.

How many Native American Reservations are in the United States?
What government land rights do Cherokee Indians have?
This depends entirely on 'which set' of Cherokee's you are referring to, as there are many different ones.
1) Western Band Cherokee's, members of "The Cherokee Nation" have no rights under their own constitution, or the constitution of the United States - as the BIA's approval process made them a "political state" under the direction and in "Trust" of the United States. (Please note that US Citizens have no constitutional rights under US Supreme Court decisions; any right maybe violated by government and the citizen must know of that right and complain of its violation before they can take advantage of that right.)
2) Eastern Band Cherokee's - members of the enrolled tribal government of that eastern band have no rights, the same as Western Band Cherokee's as they were made citizens of the State of Tennessee (and by proxy United States Citizens) to avoid removal under the Indian Removal Act.
3) Non tribal affiliated Cherokee's - those that have never been a member of the above two nations, or who have expatriated (USC Title 8) and returned to the original Cherokee nation have all rights of freeholder men, and may collectively, as well as individually, invoke the rights of treaties held by that nation as well as carry on negotiations with other nations.
(Of course those Indians who attempt this are arrested by Homeland Security as "Domestic Terrorists" and held in jail without trial, in an attempt to silence them by process).
What Cherokee leader developed the Cherokee alphabet?
The chreokee leader was named Sequoyah who was born in the early 1770s
Why did they try to move Cherokee from Georgia?
Andrew Jackson was president at the time, and he said that if the Cherokees wished to give up their tribal ways, and basically assimilate and live as whiles did he would not want to relocate them. Other tribes had more or less made this transition, such as the Tuscarora and the Catawbas, and they were not removed. Jackson felt that so long as the Cherokees wished to maintain their status as a separate nation, increasingly in contact with and even partially surrounded by white settlement, that there could never be permanent peace. Jackson grew up in North Carolina and moved to Tennessee as a young man, and never forgot that the Cherokees were on the wrong side in the Revolution and in the French and Indian War before that. Much is made of the fact that the Cherokee chief Junaluska saved Jackson's life at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend during the Creek Indian War, when the Cherokees were fighting as allies of the US Army. But the Cherokees involved themselves in that war because the Creeks were their ancient enemy, not because they wanted to help the whites. And whatever else may be said of Jackson's policy of Indian Removal, it did in fact bring an end to Indian warfare in the southeastern US, after more than 200 years.

Answer 2:
The "Blood Quantum" quoted above is falling into disuse as it cannot be shown through any scientific method how the "Aryan" blood (white blood) causes the non-Aryan blood (Indian blood, Mongrel blood) to be displaced through genetics in any form.
To translate this in a form that most can understand:
1) If John, a full blood Indian has a child with Mary, a full white blood person; their children are considered 50/50.
2) If Joe, a full blooded Indian has a child with Sara, a full white blood person; their children are considered to be 50/50.
3) If Joe and John's children then have a child together it is considered to have "less" mongrel blood than Aryan blood; 25/75.
The definition as set out above was created by the founders of the Nazi party in Germany, and it is still a cornerstone of their beliefs.
The original Native American viewpoint, being expounded again today, follows the basic guidelines that you are as native as you feel and live - to translate; how you live your life defines these things.
