Eagle Speaker made four of the dresses, two were made by her sister, and the other was bought by a family friend. Also taken were two sets of bead work and her brown custom belt.
Saskatoon Crime Stoppers said a man and a woman pawned two dresses hours after the theft. Those have been recovered by police.
Two men tried to pawn two more dresses on Nov. 1 at the same pawn shop, but left with the dresses a short time later.
Police have identified the four suspects and have three in custody.
Eagle Speaker’s mother, Tanya, told Global News some of the beadwork has also been recovered.
