The word "wanna" is English slang for "want to", pronounced in a slurred and rapid way.
Similarly "gonna" is slang for "going to" pronounced in the same disrespectful manner.
Both date from the 19th century (gonna from Scots dialect gaunna, first recorded 1806, wanna first recorded about 1896). Both terms became widely used in British and American youth culture during the 1940s and 1950s.
Neither word has anything to do with any native American language.
