Wasn't it Hamms that they were drinking in The Deer Hunter?

From the land of sky-blue waters!

I did a Wikipedia search on this jingle and found this 'over-the-top' PC piece of sensitivity (nb: underline is mine);

"The Hamm's Brewery used a version of the lyrics- "From the land of sky blue waters/ comes the beer refreshing" - as an advertising jingle through the mid-twentieth century, accompanied by pseudo-Native American drumming."

Query: How does this 'editor/contributor' know it is "pseudo-Native American"? Was it there for the recording?
