This is more plausible. The Tlingit peoples live in coastal regions, SW parts 
of Yukon Territory and Alaska. That's not what I would have referred to as 
"Northwest Territories". And it's totally not related to the thread, which was 
clearly about Northwest Territories, not Yukon Territory. 

Can you point to information on Tlingit materials in Cyrillic script?

I wouldn't describe Tlingit as a Siberian language.  There are some old 
Cyrillic script Christian materials in Tlingit. The Canadian connections are in 
British Columbia and Yukon.
