In the case of worcester v. georgia, the supreme court ruled that the cherokees were a "distinct political community" in which georgia law had no force.

In 1830, they took the state of Georgia to court in a case that challenged Georgia's jurisdictional claims directly. In Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, the Cherokees sought an injunction against Georgia's attempts to implement its act of 1828 asserting sovereignty over Cherokee lands.

I was fast asleep and there was a knock on the door . Not a knock, someone pounding on the door. The voice was deep and it startled me and i woke up. They kept saying “OPEN UP OPEN UP, WE ARE POLICE” i was still scared and I knew that police would have the keys to the door. I looked through the secret peek in the door. It was covered up with a finger. I was home alone with my mind not working on what to do. I kept looking through the peek and saw that they had a gun. I was really scared then the thing that saved me is a dog. Nextdoor the dog had woken up and started barking really loud that my whole apartment woke up. they ran in fear and i looked down and i had peed my pants. (what can you say , i was 6 ).
