What does REZES mean in Scrabble?
noun
North Americaninformal
Native American reservations, using the informal short form rez for reservation.
Rezes is the plural of rez, an everyday short form of reservation used both within Native American communities and by outsiders describing the areas of land held in trust for tribal nations. The word carries no formal legal weight of its own; official documents still use reservation, while rezes belongs to conversation, journalism, and popular culture, including television and film set on tribal land. Different rezes across the United States and Canada vary enormously in size, population, and governance, so the plural often signals that several such areas are being discussed together.
