I don't know if I should copyright or trademark the word I created and want to use in my story. Which do I do?

Can Native American Nations copyright/trademark their names? I guess the Cherokee wish they had a piece of every Grand Cherokee....

Thanks, is a Trademark needed? Does the artist have any rights if he failed to copyright the work?

If art is submitted to the general public without a copyright, anybody can use it for anything. The artist would forfeit all rights by putting it out there.

This is not true. In America (and most countries for that matter) an item is afforded copyright protection as soon as it is reduced to a tangible medium. There are certain benefits to registering a copyright, but it is not required.
