Final answer:

As a US judge at Fort Smith, upholding the law and treaty obligations would likely lead to ordering the accused to be sent back to Indian Territory.


Explanation:

As a US judge at Fort Smith, I would have to handle the case of a Native American suspected of committing a crime in Indian Territory. According to legal principles like the Extradition Clause, which mandates the return of fugitives, I would need to weigh factors such as jurisdiction and treaties. In this scenario, upholding the law and treaty obligations would likely lead to ordering the accused to be sent back to Indian Territory.
