Шаблон:Infobox newspaper

The Biskinik is the monthly newspaper of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. It is sent free to registered Choctaw Nation tribal members upon request.[1] It is published in Durant, Oklahoma by the Choctaw Nation.[2] It was first published in 1978.[3] The Library of Congress shows a record of its publication from 1978 to 1981 and from 1983 to the present.[2]

The publication shares the name Biskinik with the Choctaw word for the yellow-bellied sapsucker, a speckled, scissortail species of woodpecker.[4] According to Choctaw legend, the Bishinik was one of two birds to escape the Great Flood and was known as the "little Chahta news bird".[4] The bird was said to warn Choctaws when someone was approaching by tapping out messages on trees.[4]
