Heredity or hoax? | CBC News: "I thought it was a joke," C�t� said. "The company is fooling people … the tests are no good."
A subsequent CBC News investigation has found there are not only concerns about the accuracy of the DNA tests but also about the possible fraudulent use of cards resembling certificates of Indian status to secure tax exemptions the holders aren't entitled to.
C�t�, from Mascouche, Que., says he first became skeptical of the results produced by DNA testing company Viaguard Accu-Metrics last summer while working with a group called the Confederation of Aboriginal People of Canada (CAPC).
The group says it was established to support the interests of off-reserve Indigenous people, but it's not recognized by the national Assembly of First Nations or the Canadian government.
