A DNA laboratory that claims to test for Indigenous ancestry has been accused of potentially scamming consumers by producing dubious results, and contributing to a suspected tax scam involving claims of Indigenous status.

A CBC News report Monday revealed the Toronto-based company, Viaguard Accu-Metrics, produced bizarre ancestry results for at least a handful of customers—some of whom weren’t even human. Saliva from pet dogs and non-Indigenous people returned impossible percentages of First Nations DNA, raising questions about a possible scam.
