It's apparently spelled "Nya-wey" and means "thanks" in Seneca.
"Ees-da-sa-sussaway!" was also Seneca which meant roughly "Let's get started!"
For those of you who don't recognize what we're talking about, Chief Halftown was a 100% Seneca Indian (he hated the term Native American) who hosted "the longest running local TV children's show in the history of the world" (1950 - 1999) on WFIL-TV, which became WPVI.
He died in 2003.
