There is no way to say the word princess in Cherokee, since Cherokees had no royalty. The ubiquitous Cherokee princess is a myth. If you wanted to say the daughter of the chief, it would *U-gv-wi-yu-hi* (Chief) *hi-yu-we-ji* (his daughter)
The Navajo never have had hereditary titles or political positions and none with the absolute power of a monarch so there isn't really a translation that means the same thing as the English word. You could say little leader or even little girl leader but that isn't really what we mean in English. Navajo does not borrow many words, there are many ways to make up new ones, but this is an example of one were just the English word would probably be used.

The concept of kings, queens, princes and princesses is entirely a European one and native American languages had no equivalent terms. The idea that the daughter of a chief was a "princess" might be a very romantic description by some English, French or American observers but it would be totally meaningless in any native American society.
White people are generally unable to understand the native concept of chieftainship, which is highly complex and certainly nothing like any idea of a ruling monarch.
The daughter of a Lakota chief was simply his daughterand nothing else, so looking for a translation for words like "princess" is foolish.
