The Rez is a two-season Canadian drama TV series that ran from 1996 - 1998 on CBC Television. The series explores life among young people in a Canadian Ojibwe community, and was based on a short story collection called Dance Me Outside by W. P. Kinsella (which was also adapted into a 1994 feature film by Bruce McDonald). The Rez was cancelled after two seasons.The series's name came from the slang term "The Rez", a popular term among Indigenous folks for reservations and Band land. Much of The Rez was lighthearted and featured silly, goofy plots, but some episodes tackled deeper social issues including sexism, government bureaucracy and racism. It followed the adventures of Silas Crow, Sadie Maracle and Frank Fencepost mostly, the main characters of the series, while sideplots included minor characters.

Braids, Beads and Buckskins: While the younger characters mostly wear modern 90s Canadian fashion, there are some traditional Indigenous fashions throughout.

Canada, Eh?: Unavoidable; the series is explicitly set in Canada and Canadianisms are common throughout, including copious pop culture and geographical references.
