As an industry leader in parentage (paternity and maternity testing), family relationship and ancestral heritage testing, Bio-Gene DNA offers a variety of DNA tests for First Nation, Métis and Native Americans to help define if you belong to a particular ethno-geographical group.

The DNA results can be used in enrollment, disenrollment, claiming social benefits if using a legal DNA test, or simply for a peace of mind and personal knowledge when using the Native Amercian home DNA test kit.

We understand the impact that this testing service has on the First Nation and Native American community and we try to use our expertise for the community’s overall interests.

The DNA tests that are utilized by different tribes for tribal rights include the Legal Parentage (paternity and maternity testing) DNA test and Family relationship DNA test. The test involves comparing your DNA, from cheek swabs, to the DNA of a proven member of a tribe, or band, also using cheek swabs. Just as in a paternity test, this DNA comparison will prove if there is a genetic tribal link.

If you are seeking only to verify if you have Native American markers prior to testing with an existing tribal member you may do so for the low cost of $125.00 Results are available in 14 business days.

Native American linkage is based on a sample comparison to a proven member of the group, which identifies specific tribal linkage.

According to Office of Management and Budget, “American Indian or Alaska Native” refers to a person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment There are 562 recognized tribes in the U.S.A., plus at least 50 others in Canada, divided into First Nation, Inuit, and Metis.

DNA results are an important factor in the evidence undertaken by decision making authorities.
