Competitions to make the tallest pole remain prevalent, although it is becoming more difficult to procure trees of sufficient height. The tallest poles include those in: Alert Bay, British Columbia—, Kwakwaka'wakw. This pole is composed of two or three pieces. McKinleyville, California—, carved from a single redwood tree by Ernest Pierson and John Nelson. Kalama, Washington—, carved from a single pole by Lelooska. Kake, Alaska—, single log carving, Tlingit Victoria, British Columbia (Beacon Hill Park)—, raised in 1956, Kwakwaka'wakw, carved by Mungo Martin with Henry Hunt and David Martin. Tacoma, Washington (Fireman's Park)—, carved by Alaska Natives in 1903. Vancouver, British Columbia (Maritime Museum) —, Kwakwaka'wakw, carved by Mungo Martin with Henry Hunt and David Martin.
