Before the arrival of Europeans, the Maori were a stone age peoples. They had no metals. For fish hooks they used bone or shells, appropriately shaped, and quite successfully. They used shell for cutting and scraping. For heavy cutting tasks such as tree felling, they used stone axes, commonly made from pounamu = greenstone / jade. A hard form of argillite located in Nelson was used, after heat treatment, for axes etc. Volcanic glass, obsidian was used as a cutting tool. In Otago at least, silcrete, a 'reformed quartz' was also shaped from the rough and used as a cutting tool. And, of course, intellect is a very important tool.

They already had bondservants whom they had to pay but the African slaves provided a much cheaper way to get labour.
