It depends where they originated from.

Native American and Native Canadian totem poles on average were 30-45 metres, carved from wood.

Ancient Mayan and Ancient Aztec totem poles ranged between 35-50 metres and were carved from stone.

Ancient Chinese and Ancient Korean totem poles (built to respect Gods and ancestors) were around 10-20 metres and made from polished wood.

The tallest totem pole in the world is 52.5 metres. It's found in Alert Bay, British Columbia.

What is totem-pole?

There is a show called Totem Pole where if you win the challenge you get to rank the other contestants, and the bottom 5 can be voted out. Then the switcher comes and switches two players. The Defender is next and can use the 'Save' cards, which saves the last-placing contestant but adds a twist and the 'Take Power' Cards, which eliminates that contestant AND gives them an advantage. And then they vote a contestant out to be eliminated.
