I think what you are referring to is the Native Totem pole. The Inuit did not traditionally carve totem poles. The Inuit lived in the high Arctic, above the tree line, and would not have had the materials to do such a thing. The furthest north you would find a tribe who did carve totem would be some of the Athabaskan tribes of southern Alaska.

plain wooden poles
No, that would have been the Native Alaskan Indians.
The role that the totem poles play is that they summon the spirits of your totem and then your totems will always be with you and they will help you.
Totem Poles.
The Mayans built there homes out of limestone or hardened mud and long wooden poles. First they set the up the wooden poles equally spaced out in an oval or circular shape, and once they did that they put a few wooden poles slanted on top of the wooden poles they just placed there to support the slanted hay roof. Second they put the limestone or hardened mud around the wooden poles at the bottom. Then last they put the hay on the slanted roof.
Animal skin and wooden poles
Cree people lived in big tents called tipis made of wooden poles and buffalo skins. people would give them the wooden poles for there b-day and the more poles you had, the older you are.
Wooden poles are unlike a magnet because they do not exhibit magnetic properties. Unlike magnets, wooden poles do not have a north and south pole that attract or repel each other based on their orientation. Instead, wooden poles are non-conductive and do not interact with magnetic fields.
You don't get any wooden poles. There is nothing you really need one for.
Unless they are alreay old rotten wooden poles, they shouldn't break in the rain. :)
they used harpoons throwing them into the ocean like fishing poles or like spears to kill the narwhales so they can get eaten
