Where are most of the Cherokee tribe located?

There is only one "Cherokee Reservation" in existence, that is located in North Carolina and held by the Eastern Band of Cherokee. It is not a 'normal' reservation however, in that it recognizes a line and defines land holders within 100 miles of that line to be 'in' the reservation. The "Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma" has jurisdiction over several counties there, but it is NOT a reservation. The state of Oklahoma is in itself a 'reservation' to indians.


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