The writers, Virginia Beavert and Sharon Hargus have authored the dictionary, which comes with over 9000 sound files.  According to the University of Washington Press:

Sahaptin, or Ichishkíin Sínwit (literally, “this language”), is a Plateau Penutian language spoken in south-central Washington and northern Oregon. This dictionary documents the dialect of Sahaptin that is spoken by the Yakama people. Ichishkíin Sínwit Yakama / Yakima Sahaptin Dictionary is the first modern published dictionary of any Sahaptin dialect.

Part of the dictionary can be seen online (the perfect place for any dictionary).
