There is no single Native American language or even language family. There are hundreds of languages in dozens of families. They are as different as English, Russia, Turkish, Berber, Chinese and Tibetan. So, there is no one word.
In Navajo as doctor is : azee'ííł'ní (medicine, he make it)
A traditional priest, healer/philosopher/leader of ceremonial rituals is:hataałii (one who chants ceremonies)
To heal is: nádziih (1st person imperfective)
One could make this into a noun "one who heals" but I haven't heard it used.
Note, you can't just use this the way you would an English verb, Navajo verbs conjugate very differently for tense, mode, aspect and person
No one knows what languages the Anasazi spoke, probably several
The Powhatan language that Pocahontas spoke went extinct in the 1790s. We know it was in the Algonquian family (like Spanish and Romanian are in the Romance branch of the Indo European family). We don't have enough of the vocabulary recorded and the ways it was written down are unclear.
There are more than 700 different Native American languages spoken in North and South America. You will have to be more specific. If you are not sure which language you are talking about, here is a partial list of the most common Native American languages in North America:
