Strange Knife or strange hilt...origin??

The decorations and construction of the butt cap definitely look mid 20th century Indian to me. I have a cane and have had a couple of other swords that have had very similar decorations to the ones on this knife. I could post pictures of the cane handle if you would like but the swords are no longer in my possession. IMHO I would guess the age of construction to be mid 20th century but as stated before I think the blade could possible be older and cut down from a larger blade. Still a very nice and interesting weapon.
