Nice dagger and i would agree that it could be Tlingit. Certainly a ritual piece. IO doubt it saw any warfare or fighting. Check out this thread:

I believe Tlingit were the only ones who have a history of these types of daggers - and very rare at that. This one I would put at later but authentic. Thanks for sharing.
