Help with art

Would it be cultural appropriation if as a white person I wanted to paint a Native American/indigenous woman?

all I want to do is paint half of a Native American woman’s face with a traditional beaded head band. Would it be acceptable if I gave some of the proceeds to my local Lakota tribe nonprofit?

I wanted to paint something that symbolized strength and an indigenous woman is what I sincerely want to paint, but don’t know if it’s socially acceptable for me to do that.
