If you see an indigenous person trying to sell you their wares, say "no thank you. I know you are trying to make a living, and you are actively trying to sell things to me, but somehow me buying your turquoise necklace would be harmful to you. I know your family needs to eat but let me explain cultural appropriation to you."
My mom is very white, my dad is indigenous, I look white. Black hair, honey skin, but still "white enough". My brother and my sister are both blonde. If I had a fucking penny every time I hear "cultural appropriation " while doing the things I grew up doing, I could fucking afford to end racism.

My skin is white but I am indigenous. Guess I'm not allowed to buy these clothes made for indigenous people because I'm white :^(
