General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF CLAIMS
Syllabus
In rendering a judgment for the Cherokee Nation in its suit against the United States on the item claimed by, and over the objection of, the Eastern Cherokees, the Court of Claims recognized the Nation a the titular claimant authorized to prosecute the item to recovery, although for the ultimate benefit of the Eastern Cherokees, and this Court having affirmed the judgment, 202 U.S. 1, the question has been adjudicated.
Under the decree of the Court of Claims as affirmed by this Court, the attorneys for the Cherokee Nation are entitled to be paid their fees on the amount of the recovery, including the items recovered in the name of the Nation for the Eastern Cherokees.
After this Court has reviewed the judgment of the Court of Claims and affirmed it, the Court of Claim, like any other court whose judgment has been reviewed by this Court, must give effect to it and carry it into effect according to the mandate, without variation or other further relief. In re Sanford Fork & Tool Co., 160 U.S. 247.
45 Ct.Cl. 104 affirmed.
The facts, which involve certain phases of the claims of the Cherokee Indians against the United States and the relative interests therein of the Cherokee Nation and the Eastern Cherokees, are stated in the opinion.
