Use of "cypress" pillars[edit]

It seems highly unlikely that cypress would be used in building a makeshift shelter, since cypress does not grow anywhere near the site, and would have had to be imported from thousand of kilometres away. Could this be a local tree that resembled cypress enough to be called the same, such as eastern white cedar? Or does this word appear in the article because of its similarity to the colloquial Canadian French term, cyprès, meaning jack pine, assuming that this use of cyprès, which mean cypress in standard French, had already arisen at such an early date? Today, jack pine is not abundant in the immediate area, but eastern white cedar is. Óghog (talk) 23:06, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct. I've changed the text to reflect your comment. Smallchief (talk) 23:23, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't tell from the article, what the documentary source was for "cypress". So I didn't make an edit; thought I might come back to it later. I suppose the change could be justified as common knowledge? Not sure. Óghog (talk) 00:04, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, this section in unsourced so I'm not sure where and when "cypress" has been cited as the wood used in construction. Clearly, the wood used was not "cypress" as we use the word in English. So, I put the word in quotes. But, if you prefer, take the word cypress out of the article entirely and substitute "timber" or something similar. Smallchief (talk) 00:22, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
