Hi Tim,
I really have nothing more to add to Jim's excellent observations, but maybe the small information I have may be useful to you. I think the only way to date your club is by the beads. The colour and type can sometimes be dated (not by by me). I will include a picture of 3 clubs in the Glenbow museum in Calgary, they most likely are Souix or Blackfoot. I also will include a club head that I have from my Grandfather's farm in Saskatchewan it most likely is Cree.
All the best
Jeff
