Fiction about indigenous / Native Americans

I have really enjoyed books by Caucasian authors Stan Jones about the Iñupiat, by Aimee and David Thurlo about the Navajo, by Tony and Anne Hillerman about the Navajo, William Kent Krueger about the Ojibwe of Minnesota, Margaret Coel about a metis Arapaho. When is it appropriation, when not?
