In the case of the Cherokee Nation vs. The State of Georgia, in the Supreme Court of the United States, it was decided that Indians have rights of occupancy to their lands as sacred as the fee simple, absolute title of the whites, but they are only rights of occupancy, incapable of alienation or being held by any other than common right without permission from the government. 8 Wheaton, page 592.
