Even European colonists did not have modern matches until after 1800. The matches in the 16th and 17th century were chemical, and rarely used.

The Native Americans either used flints to spark their fires, or more commonly the wooden stick designs still used by modern Boy Scouts. Some of these fire sticks doubled as tools for drilling wood and bone.
