The dictionary includes grammar and comparative information that place the Umatilla language in its linguistic and historical contexts, and it compiles all of the language’s known words, phrases, and constructions. Umatilla dictionary is an important work for people of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, the Yakama Nation, and the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, and it adds to the growing body of linguistic work being done by tribes and scholars on endangered languages.
