Samuel Worcester

"The Cherokee nation, then, is a

distinct community occupying its
own territory in which the laws of
Georgia can have no force. The
whole intercourse between the
United States and this nation, is, by
our constitution and laws, vested in
the government of the United
States."
Treaty of New Echota (1835)

$5 million for 7 million acres

of ancestral land.
