About This Book

A Supreme Court opinion delivered by the Chief Justice reviews trial records and treaties to determine whether a state may enforce its laws within the territory of the Cherokee Nation. The Court reasons that the Cherokee Nation constitutes a distinct political community with sovereign authority over its internal affairs, that state statutes cannot lawfully regulate or punish persons residing there, and that federal treaties and national authority supersede conflicting state legislation.
