Since you posted this under "Cheyenne Indians" I guess you mean "what is the Cheyenne translation for White Man?".
The Cheyenne term ve'ho'e really means "spider" but it was used to describe white people; some say it is because white settlers fenced their lands, like a spider builds a web. Others say the word is really 'e-ve'hoo'e, "he is wrapped up", referring to the many layers of clothing worn by white people - the natives said that whites wear far too many clothes.
Among the Crows of Montana, the term for a white person is baashchiili, which is made up of baa ("someone") and shiili ("yellow") - in other words "a person who is yellow".
The Teton or Lakota Sioux used the term wasichun, which can mean anything sacred or mysterious as well as "white man".

How were the treaties among the American Indians unfair?
The treaties were, for the most part, unfair due to the fact that the white man shamelessly broke every treaty he ever signed with the native peoples. The Black Hills is just one glaring example of the white man's duplicity. Most of the treaties were a bad bargain for the red man, and became worse when the white man breached the terms of any given treaty. If you are white and do even a rudimentary unbiased reading of American History during the 18th and 19 century, you will blush with shame at the treatment of the American Indian.
