Appreciation vs appropriation?

I am a non indigenous person, (technically my biological dads side is indigenous however I do not know them and did not grow up in the same culture so I do not claim to be indigenous for obvious reasons) working in a primarily indigenous office. I attend events such as powwows, ceremonies, sweats etc. for people in my community/work space. There have been a few times where I have been asked to wear a ribbon skirt but did not have one and I have a few questions/thoughts:

An indigenous person in my community is going to make me a skirt (I am very greatful for this!!) and it is a bit expensive (which I 100000% understand and am in no way complaining!!!) As I need multiple (I’m hoping to have one for ceremonies and one for sweats) I am wondering if it would be acceptable for me to also make a skirt for just myself as financially I am really struggling. I have been taught the meaning behind the skirts, I would never ever sell what I make it would be solely for myself.

The line between appreciation and appropriation is a fine one and I would love to know anyone’s thoughts on this. I apologize if anything has come across as offensive or out of touch. I really just want to learn more
