For $250, CAPC will arrange the DNA test and collect the samples from prospective members. The test itself is done by Viaguard.

If the test confirms a person has at least one per cent Indigenous ancestry, it's another $80 for membership in the group and a CAPC card.

Côté says it was his job to collect the DNA samples for CAPC. But he started to have doubts.

"I heard some things that were not straight with these tests," he said.

So Côté says he bought three DNA test kits directly from Viaguard in July last year. He took three different samples, which he says he sent back to the company's lab.

Two of the samples contained swabs of his inner cheek. He says he labelled one with his name and the other with his father's name. For the third sample, Côté says, he swabbed inside Snoopy's mouth and then wrote his adopted son's name on the label.

On Aug. 26, 2017, he received three separate emails from Viaguard, each containing a link to a PDF. The test results, which he provided to CBC News, were identical — both Côté and Snoopy had 20 per cent Native American ancestry: 12 per cent Abenaki and eight per cent Mohawk.

"I don't feel very good for the people who paid for these tests," Côté said. "They may have paid for nothing."

II. Shopping trip

Inside a store in Montreal, a cashier is handed what appears to be an Indian status card, an official government document that can entitle the holder to tax exemptions at the checkout. The cashier deducts the tax, but the man who handed her the card walks away before the transaction is complete — he knows that following through would be breaking the law.

"Merchants don't know the laws, so they will take anything presented to them," said Daniel Brabant, referring to the CAPC card just shown at the cash. Ha ha ha this lady sent her and her dogs DNA and they are both part Mohawk ha ha ha ha

Did you mean for this to be on the other thread, bro? Just wondering.
