Cherokee tax case limits interior for Cherokee nation
The court holds that the secretary of the interior cannot enforce Cherokee trading taxes or collect tribal revenue under Article 2 Trade and Intercourse, given Curtis Bill restrictions and lack of enforcement avenues. It states the Cherokee nation retains limited rights, with due process preserved only where Congress specifies. The ruling emphasizes absence of a lawful method to collect these taxes by federal officers.
