Why do native americans cut their hair when mourning?
Native Americans do not cut their hair in mourning. That was a historic feature of certain tribes that is no longer practised today.
Among the Plains tribes and certain other groups, the hair was considered to be a container for part of a person's spirit - which is the reason for some tribes such as the Crows and Mandans cultivating the hair to very long lengths or decorating the scalplock with paint, beads and feathers.
Taking an enemy scalp made certain that his spirit would wander aimlessly without ever reaching the afterlife and cutting off much of the hair showed that a mourner's spirit was reduced and desolated by the loss of a loved one. Naturally the hair would grow long again in time, restoring the person's spirit and signifying that they had got over their loss. Among the Crows, a widow of a warrior who had been killed by an enemy (such as Pikuni Blackfoot) could be consoled by presenting her with the scalp of a Pikuni warrior (even if it were not the particular enemy who killed her husband).
Many native American groups had no such beliefs and scalpings had no such significance. Every tribe was different.

What is the American Indian translation of white man?
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".
Are white people native to America?
No they come from Europe and before that they came from near middle east where all people originated from. They came here & killed the Native people-- men, women & children. The Native people welcomed them & when the white people asked to buy the land the Native people refused to sell the land saying, " .....there is enough for all of us to live on it, The Great Creator made this land for all of us. How can you buy land? Its like asking to buy the water we drink or the air we breath....these things are not for sale, its here for all of us, to share. Its a gift from the The Great Creator & it's not for us, (as people) to make profit from, because it's a gift. The white people thought the Native People were weak and child like, because they were so kind and un-wicked, they thought the Native People were naive, because they didn't want to profit from such a grand & profitable property. The Natives were generous, forgiving & lovable & the white people were the opposite & they did away with most of the Natives...that is why people rarely ever see Native around. To answer your question; No! the white people native to America? NO!

How do you say good by in the cheyenne language of doctor Quinn medicine woman?
Dr Quinn is fictional and you can expect very little linguistic accuracy (just as the costumes and other details of the natives portrayed in the series are very far from accurate). One of the most glaring errors is the depiction of Cheyenne with eyebrows - in the 19th century all facial hair was always removed by both sexes, including eyebrows. Modern native actors and actresses have forgotten the traditions of their ancestors.
The Cheyenne did not say "goodbye"; a visitor would say na-ase - I am leaving; the hosts would say e-pava'e tsexe-ho'ehneto - it's good you came. The visitor might reply ne-sta-va-hose-voomatse - I will see you again.

Most native American peoples in North and South America had no writing system of any kind; it was only the Central American civilisations that had writing before European contact, then some tribes (such as the Cherokee) developed a writing system based entirely on the books, newpapers and documents they were exposed to in white culture.
The Cheyenne and the Plains tribes in general never had any written language of any kind. They used pictograms as a kind of memory aid, either to mark the passage of years ("Winter Counts") or to commemorate notable war deeds - but this is not writing, since it does not record language.

Who is the all-encompassing Great Mystery god of the Native American people?
Your question supposes that all native American peoples, from the Arctic Circle to the southern tip of South America all believe in a supreme "mystery god" with the same name. This is a totally false idea.
Native American religions are extremely complex and in certain cases there is no supreme god, or not one that can be easily pinpointed.
Among the Crows of Montana, it is difficult to say clearly if the Sun is regarded as the supreme spirit being (what Robert H Lowie describes as "the most dominant single figure" in their religion), or if it is Old Man Coyote (also called Akbaa'tat-dia, the Creator of Everything) - but hewas never revered in the same way as the Sun. To complicate matters even further, 19th century Crows testified that they always prayed first to their own individual protective spirit and only rarely to the Sun.
The Narragansetts and Wampanoags of New England believed in a very large number of spirit beings including the four directions and winds, the sun, the evil god, the house god, the woman's god, the sea god, the fire god and the children's god. Collectively these were called manittowok. Manit is the general term for any god or spirit.
Among the Lakota or Teton Sioux the term wakantanka is used for "great mystery", but this force is believed to exist in everything and is included as just one of a large number of spirits. It can not be viewed simplistically as a supreme deity.
