Question

Native americans from several of the so-called civilized tribes spent the 1820s and 1830s in court fighting for their rights to their land through legal means. Match each of the supreme court cases below to the correct result.

Answer 1

The correct Supreme Court cases and their results from the original question are:

• Johnson v. M'Intosh (1823) - The ruling in this case proclaimed that Indians were not owners of their land; they merely had a "right of occupancy."

• Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831) - According to the Court, native peoples could not be given the rights of citizens because they were simply "wards" of the government.

• Worcester v. Georgia (1832) - The Supreme Court ruled that as a distinct people, Native American tribes should be dealt with by the federal government, not state governments.

What did the Supreme Court say?

The Supreme Court was not particularly sympathetic to the Native Americans in the 1820s and 1830s. We see this when they posited that Native Americans don't own their land in Johnson v. M'Intosh in 1823.

The Supreme Court also described the Natives as wards of the government instead of citizens in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia.

It did however rule that only the federal government could deal with them in Worcester v. Georgia.
