1976 Mazola Margarine "We Call It Maize" Commercial

You call it corn, we call it Maize. This stern Native American is making a huge point in this Mazola Margarine ad. She did these ads throughout the late 1970s.

**This commercial is from my 1970-1979 Commercials Volume 2**

If only I could find the commercial with the men's chorus all chanting "Mazo-oh-la, corn goo-ood-ness!"

Show a little respect. It's a hot Native American piece of ass.

Where's the 70s commercial that shows the Native Americans dancing around the fire and chanting, "Ma-zo-o-la,corn goo-ood-ness."

WE called it MAIZE ... pale face!

She was paid in alcohol

Thanks, I saw a picture of her after you found her name. Search Google: TENAYA TORRES then select images she is with an old Hopi. I think it is her and she looks good 10 years after this commercial. America has no institutional memory and that is why Mazola had no idea who she was. That is why we can fight war after war because we are ignorant of our past even as little as 30 years ago.

btw, she is three-quarters Chiricahua-Apache.

I know. I didn't believe I found it. I'm brilliant. ;) She's still acting. One of her latest roles was a bit part in an episode of Breaking Bad Episode 10: Salud in 2011. She plays an employee of a company. I also found the text of an interview she did with the La Times here: tinyurl[dotcom]/a3m369o. She had a radio show w/ her husband in NM and is also a playwright. No website or facebook page.
