I'm trying to figure out my ethnic orgin and I just wanted to know if "Locklear" was an Indian last name.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It could be. Many Natives took (or were given) european names. Find out where your people are from. See if there is a reserve nearby and check the phonebook for Locklears. Heather Locklear claims Lumbee ancestors, who are recognized as a Native American tribe in North Carolina. See links below.
