In the supreme court case of the court ruled that the federal govedrnment not the states had authority over the Cherokee?

In the Supreme Court case Worcester v. Georgia (1832), the Court ruled that the federal government, not the states, had authority over Native American nations, including the Cherokee. Chief Justice John Marshall stated that the Cherokee were a distinct community with their own rights to self-governance, and that Georgia's laws had no force within their territory. This landmark decision affirmed the sovereignty of Native American tribes but was largely ignored by the state of Georgia and President Andrew Jackson, leading to the forced removal of the Cherokee during the Trail of Tears.
