Under the terms of the agreement that the Oans and Morsts had signed in 1717, Oans not located on the territory ceded to the Morsts were considered free. Other than some minor mistakes, this treaty was respected. However, starting in the 1800s, the Morsts formed an alliance with the Wakatunuye clan to trade in slaves. This first began by selling convicted criminals to Morst slavers. This practice was ignored by Oan officials in exchanged for bribes. Starting in 1850 during the reign of Tamatea II, it spread to the deliberate kidnapping of free people especially in the northern islands which were farthest away from central government control.
