His mother was Cayuga and Mohawk. I fail to understand why he would be accused of cultural appropriation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Robertson

If he wasn't native American?

Okay, but he was, so.... this comment is pretty empty. And even if he wasn't, he made this music in collaboration with First Nations musicians. I don't think there's a taboo against people working with each other who aren't of the same ethnic background. Cultural appropriation accusations usually come up when someone who has nothing to do with a certain ethnic background starts drawing on it for something - and even then those accusations are often pretty empty.
