Some tribes include the Haida, Tlingit, and Kwakiutl, but that isn't an exhaustive list.
Totem poles come in many sized from 2 meters to those erected by the Haida of Haida Gwaii and the Tsimshian which could be 30 meters all. The diameter is not consistent among these many sized and the individual poles taper so the diameter changes with height as well. The large poles could be over a metre in diameter at the base.
