Justice was almost entirely 【C11】______ the Indians’ side. The land was clearly theirs; frequently their title was legally【C12】______ by a treaty negotiated with the federal government. The Indians,【C13】______ , lacked the military force and political power to protect this right.

解析
考查篇章分析能力。这句话的意思是说,印第安人没有政治和军事力量来保护他们的权利,和上文提到的情况(土地显然是印第安人的,而且他们和联邦政府协商签署的协议也常常可以证明他们的权利)相反,所以选择however,表示一种转折的关系。
