LeClaire, under the byline nibiiwakamigkwe, authored a commentary article for Tone Madison in November 2021 about the raising of the Ho-Chunk Nation flag on the UW-Madison campus. We can no longer stand behind this commentary, because in the piece LeClaire falsely presents themselves as an Indigenous person. By publishing this article, Tone Madison presented LeClaire as a credible voice on the experiences of Indigenous people in Madison and on the UW campus. We apologize for our role in creating this harm.
