The correct answer is: **Georgia won in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia but little changed; Worchester v. Georgia was in favor of the Cherokee but they lost their land anyway.**
In Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831), the Supreme Court ruled that the Cherokee Nation was not a foreign nation and thus could not sue in federal court, effectively siding with Georgia. In Worcester v. Georgia (1832), the Court ruled that Georgia's laws had no authority in the Cherokee Nation's territory, which was a victory for the Cherokee. However, despite this ruling, the Cherokee were ultimately removed from their land during the Trail of Tears, so they lost their land regardless of the court's decision.
