How many Native Americans have served on the US supreme court?
Unfortunately, there has never been a Native American on the Supreme Court. Until recently, most Justices were white, male, protestants. Diversity is a fairly development, dating back to 1916, when Woodrow Wilson nominated the first Jewish Justice, Louis Brandeis. It will likely take a while to create more ethnic balance because Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life, serve an average tenure of approximately 25 years. There have only been 111 appointments since the Court's inception in 1790. So far, Presidents have nominated seven Jewish Justices; two African-Americans; and three women to the bench. The most recent Justice to join the US Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor, is Latina.
