John Berrey, the chairman of the Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma, has been named to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation.

Berrey was appointed by President Bush for a four-year term on the ACHP. He said he will bring a Native perspective to the post.

"I am honored to receive this appointment by President George Bush and look forward to serving and representing not only Native-Americans and Native Hawaiians on the Council, but all American citizens providing input from the Native perspective with zealous patriotic pride," Berrey said in a statement.

The ACHP promotes the preservation, enhancement, and productive use of the nation's historic resources and advises the executive branch and Congress on national historic preservation policy.
