Art XXV (signed Feb 23, 1867) said Kansas allotment taxes were then pending in the Supreme Court and promised federal measures to secure refunds if declared unlawful; the lawful-tax redemption/waiver branch was later struck. The Kansas Indians, 72 U.S. 737 (decision May 6, 1867) held Wea (and companion) allotments non-taxable while federal recognition continued, reversed state judgments, and remanded for conforming judgments — injunction posture, not identified individual refunds. Pending at signing; unlawful-tax holding before 1868 Senate amendment; surviving refund branch ≠ SCOTUS refund decree.
