He is not to be confused with Frank Allen Peratrovich, the middle of Roy and Elizabeth's three children, because there are websites out there which have done exactly that.  Frank Peratrovich earned his first bit of fame a decade or so before Roy and Elizabeth.  Governor Troy appointed him to administer a social welfare program, making him the first Native to serve at that level in the history of the territorial government.  He quit that position when he discovered that Natives were excluded from receiving benefits under the program he was charged with administering.
