We share the same wish. I'd love to have more Navajo and Algonquian folklore in my media. Some of the best and creepiest horror stories I've read/watched had some element of them and I especially love Wendigos! I think I find them particularly fascinating because I'm not American and it's so different from the mythical creatures I'm used to.
It's a shame and I actually didn't know that non-Navajo writers can't write about them, but I get it.

Well... to be precise it's not so much "can't" but these days people are a lot more sensitive about cultural appropriation and using that aspect of Navajo folklore might be viewed in a negative light.

Ah, thanks for pointing it out! I thought thay maybe Navajo people recently IDEK got copyright or something on their mythology to protect their folklore.
I have very conflicting feelings about cultural appropriation in this case because, while we should absolutely respect that community's wishes to not see their traditions be exploited from people outside their communities, it's such a shame not a have more media depicting Navajo's stories.
Unfortunately authentic Navajo's voices are not very loud outside (and inside?) the USA. I'd really like to know more.

I read this wendigo one and it was pretty good.

Windwalkers by R. Michael Burns. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098RW83B1?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860

(I picked it up initially because he was my sophomore English teacher, lol. He was a really good teacher)

Thanks! It's pretty cool that your teacher published a book.
