Abstract
Watu Pinawetengan has become one of the symbols in the life of the Minahasa community from the past to the present. This research was conducted using descriptive qualitative methods to describe the meaning and purpose of Watu Pinawetengan as a symbol of unity and brotherhood of the Minahasa tribe from the beginning which is now increasingly reduced by the influence of modernity and globalization. The values of unity and brotherhood symbolized through Watu Pinawetengan are expected to be the glue that is actualized in the realization of the unity and integrity of the Minahasa tribe, especially for people living in Minahasa land in general; which now consists of eight sub-ethnics with various ethnicities and races around them.
