The motto for the Mau were the words Samoa mo Samoa (Samoa for the Samoans). Similarly in Hawaiian ''Mau'' means to strive or persevere, and is often linked with Hawaiian poetry relating to independence and sovereignty struggles.

As the movement grew, leadership came under the country's chiefly elite, the customary '' matai'' leaders entrenched in Samoan tradition and fa'a Samoa.
