<P align="justify"> Rheen, Samuel (? … <P align="justify"> Rheen, Samuel (?-1680), s Swedish clergyman and ethnographer, Rector of Råneå 1671-1780.</p>
<P align="justify"> Samuel Rheen was of Pite peasant or birkarl ([[The Birkarlar|Birkarlar]]) stock. Before he was appointed Rector of Råneå, he was a clergyman in Piteå from 1641 to 1664 and a preacher in Jokkmokk between 1666 and 1671. He thus acquired a thorough knowledge of the Saami, which he used when the Swedish Collegium of Antiquities requested clergymen working in Lapland to supply information for [[Schefferus, Johannes|Johan Schefferus]]'s work [[Lapponia (a book)|Lapponia]]. Rheen s report <i>En kortt relation om lapparnes lefwerne och sedher</i> 'A Short Account of the Lapps Life and Customs' was the first of the sources for <i>Lapponia</i> to be completed, being submitted about 1670.</p>
<P align="justify"> Rheen s description concerns mainly the [[Lule Saami language|Lule Saami]]. He provides information about their customs and their pre-Christian cosmology. The report includes pictures of a shaman s drum and a shaman falling into a trance ([[Shamanism|Shamanism]]) and two rare pictures of Lule Saami sacrificial platforms, although one of them seems somewhat fantastical with its highly uncharacteristic steps.</p>
<P align="justify"> Samuel Rheen was a knowledgeable and astute observer, and with his report shows genuine talent as an ethnographer. There is, however, a problem with source reliability caused by the fact that the Collegium of Antiquities had copies of the first report that was submitted to it circulated among the other clergymen in Lapland, with the result that many who subsequently contributed source material for <i>Lapponia</i> based their accounts to a considerable extent on Rheen's report. </p><BR>
