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.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan are current Supreme Court justices. They are women. Sandra Day O'Connor is a former Supreme Court justice. She is also a woman. There are no constitutional qualifications for Supreme Court Justices. No age requirement, education requirement, or even a citizenship requirement. Never mind a protected class.
As of July 31, 2010, the US Supreme Court has six male justices and two female justices. If Elena Kagan is confirmed to succeed retired Justice John Paul Stevens, the Court will have six men (66.6%) and three women (33.3%). If Kagan is seated, this will be the first time in history three women have been on the Supreme Court bench at the same time.
At present, three of the nine US Supreme Court justices are women, which is 33.3%. If you're asking for help with math homework, you can calculate the answer by dividing 9 into 3, multiplying the solution by 100, and rounding off to the nearest tenth (or whatever the question specifies). 3 ÷ 9 = .3333333 .3333333 x 100 = 33.33333 33.33333 = 33.3%

Historically, Supreme Court justices have typically been white, protestant males from upper-middle to upper class backgrounds. All Supreme Court justices so far have been licensed attorneys, although not all had law degrees, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries. This profile is gradually changing. The current Court seats six men and three women; and two justices are considered ethnic minorities for demographic purposes. None of the current justices is protestant: six are Roman Catholic and three are Jewish. Some of the justices come from family backgrounds of modest means.
