In Cherokee Nation v. GA (1831), the Cherokees tried to use the white man's law to defend their land, but the Supreme Court ruled that they did not have standing as a foreign nation to bring the case to court. This decision ultimately led to the forced removal of the Cherokees from their land in what is known as the Trail of Tears.
