"Professing a desire to civilize and settle them, we have at the same time lost no opportunity to purchase... their lands and thrust them farther into the wilderness.

These neighbors come over the line, and take the cattle belonging to the Cherokees. The Cherokees go in pursuit of their property, but all that they can effect is, to see their cattle snugly kept in the lots of these robbers. We are an abused people. If we can receive no redress, we can feel deeply the injustice done to our rights."–From the Cherokee Phoenix and Indians' Advocate, Wednesday, May 27, 1829 In which of the following judicial decisions did the Cherokee Indians seek and legally achieve a victory?
