I'm Hispanic and have Native Alaskan mythology/culture in my fantasy stories. I seriously doubt any of my Native buddies would be pissed about that. Honestly, I agree with Russ. The loud minority makes a big deal out of cultural appropriation and racism etc, when the silent majority doesn't seem to...really care that much. Just like with the discussion here a few weeks ago about how to refer to people of color in literature...ok, as a brown skinned person I hate being referred to as a "POC". Just call me Hispanic. Call me cinnamon (my husband does) and it doesn't offend. THINK and assume that I'm offended easily and that's more annoying that anything.
Yes, do your research. Yes, be considerate, compassionate, and respectful of the cultures you're writing about and there shouldn't be a problem. (sorry, I get so tired of attempted censorship and control of art)
