Collaboration is about seeing CREATE and our network as a support system for creative ventures. We love the Menominee word āhpēhtesewen, which loosely translates to "the power gained from giving power away." We open our work spaces to others who need them. We fill those spaces with useful technology. We facilitate meet-ups and co-ops and community forums. We get people thinking together. We coach and mentor and partner, giving our ideas freely and turning those ideas into projects and businesses. We root for the success of others as we know their success is tied to our own.
