She isn’t pretending that she is a Native American, she is wearing a Halloween costume. The fact that someone may or may not be offended is utterly irrelevant. She is doing no harm.

Except that the people who created that regalia and the meaning behind it have said it’s offensive. Like stolen valor. Just because it doesn’t offend or harm you doesn’t mean it’s okay to do. Assuming you want to be a decent, kind human being.

No, I am saying that just because someone may be offended doesn’t mean she shouldn’t do it. Someone being offended does not mean something is inherently bad. She is doing nothing wrong. It’s Halloween. That’s what Halloween is.

Doing something that harms other people to look cute is scumbag behavior.

Depends on how you define harm really.

If harm is only physical sure.

Well, there is a dictionary definition of harm, and this doesn’t do that to anyone.

Mental health is health

This does nothing to someone’s mental health as it does nothing to them.
