The state began to take away their land and rights.

Explanation:

The Cherokee who lived near Georgia were gradually losing their land and rights, being relocated to poor quality reserves and that did not respect the sacred place where they were born. This happened to all Native Americans, who were victims of greed and lack of respect from the colonists who felt superior to the natives and owners of a territory that did not actually belong to them.
