Dr. Okrand's dissertation was on Mutsun.
Dick Grune has written a paper comparing Mutsun and Klingon which you
can read here:
http://www.cs.vu.nl/~dick/Summaries/Languages/MutsunKlingonComparison.pdf
Any similarity you see between Klingon and Tlinget is probably a
coincidence, though it possibly stems from a similarity between
Tlinget and Mutsun. (I don't know enough about either to comment about
that.)
