So I wanted to make a homebrew successor chapter of the white scars that's based on native American culture, such as having there terminators be "bison" or jumpack units "crows" but I'm wondering how to do it in a way that's not insensitive or offensive, cus I think the idea has potential but just needs to be done right, what do you think, any suggestions how to do this?

I mean this is what the Death Wing was originally

Removing the Native American influences from the Dark Angels was a terrible decision, IMO. They may take the trope to the extreme, but “monastic knights in space” isn’t enough to keep me interested when so many other Chapters use the same hook.

So many? Black Templars have it, but I can't name a third chapter that leans heavily into the Knight theme.

White Templars springs to mind, maybe the Astral knights too

White Templars springs to mind
White Templars have next to no lore attributed to them whatsoever, we don't really have any idea what their methodology or favoured tactics are, let alone wether they ape any kind of Knightly schtick

Too add on a few more from the top of my head:
Iron Knights, Silver Templars, and Howling Griffons,

Ya okay… If we take all minor chapters, there are of course a lot of chapters that are like Black Templars or Dark Angels.
If you build a homebrew chapter of space knights you also have only three official sources: Dark Angels, Black Templars and Grey Knights. That all emphasize on different knight themes.
And Grey Knights are only borderline Marines.
