Summary

Description
Svenska: Monumentet "Till hugfästande av sambandet med stamfränder västanhavs och östanhavs", står i Rottneros utmed väg E45 utanför Sunne i Värmland. För att hedra och minnas de Värmländska invandrarna från Finland samt de Värmlänningar som utvandrade till USA.

Örnen av brons högst upp på monumentet och själva monumentet av granit är gjort av den finländske skulptören Jussi Mäntynen. Monumentet invigdes den 22 juni 1953. Den dåvarande ägaren till Rottneros bruk, Svante Påhlson, beställde och bekostade monumentet. Vid den stora och påkostade invigningen närvarade bl. a Finlands minister i Sverige samt USA's ambasadör förutom landshövding Acke Westling m fl.

Våra två senaste kungar har på sina eriksgator besökt och skrivit sina namn på monumentet, Gustaf VI Adolf den 27 juni 1953 och Carl XVI Gustaf den 11 september 1974.
