It might be possible if you use a lot of split precincts/census blocks, but since you can't build a CD that's more than ~25% Asian VAP in Georgia when focused on that group alone, this is about as close as you can probably get while making it relatively contiguous:

So I have maps for random personal projects and I just happened to make a map that was 1.5% white. There are more native americans then white people. I made this map a few weeks ago and just realized it. If you just added more Asians white's would almost be in last...



TBF A large amount of those Native Americans are Elizabeth Warren-style white people, as Dave's Redistricting App includes all American Indians, alone or in combination

However this doesn't take away from your achievement, nicely done!

They're Hispanic Natives...

Ethnically, yes a lot of the Hispanics have significant Native admixture

Talking Census, though, no, barely 4% of Hispanics called themselves Native (alone or in combination) when marking the census form. Way more White people did. Some other race was popular among Hispanics.

I guess it still counts at the end of the day but American Indians and Hispanic migrants with Native ancestry are very different groups with different histories, cultures, and voting patterns and wildly varying characteristics even wihin the group.

There are no White People in this District. As you can see, most of the Natives are also counted as Hispanics, that's why the figures add up to greater than 100%.

Ah, that's right
I stand corrected

It's worth noting that plenty of West Coast cities--Seattle, Los Angles, and Phoenix most notably--have substantial Native-only identifying populations. Obviously nothing like 5-10% of the population, but still a couple hundred thousand people. Seattle in particular has a big Alaska Native population.
