( CNN ) About a dozen Native American actors have walked off the set of an Adam Sandler movie comedy , saying the satirical Western 's script is insulting to Native Americans and women , according to a report . The walkout occurred Wednesday on the set of `` The Ridiculous Six '' near Las Vegas , New Mexico , according to the Indian Country Today Media Network . The script called for native women 's names such as `` Beaver 's Breath '' and `` No Bra '' and an actress portraying an Apache woman to squat and urinate while smoking a peace pipe , ICTMN reported . `` When I began doing this film , I had an uneasy feeling inside of me and I felt so conflicted . ... We talked to the producers about our concerns . They just told us , 'If you guys are so sensitive , you should leave , ' `` said Allison Young , a Navajo and one of the actors who left the set . `` Nothing has changed , '' she told ICTMN . `` We are still just Hollywood Indians . '' `` They were being disrespectful , '' added David Hill , a Choctaw actor . `` They were bringing up those same old arguments that Dan Snyder uses in defending the ( Washington ) Redskins . But let me tell you , our dignity is not for sale . '' Produced by Sandler 's Happy Madison Productions as part of a four-picture deal with Netflix , `` The Ridiculous Six '' also stars Will Forte , Taylor Lautner , Steve Buscemi , John Turturro , Nick Nolte , Luke Wilson and Rob Schneider , among others . The ICTMN describes the movie as a Western spoof on `` The Magnificent Seven , '' the 1960 classic about gunfighters who protect a village from a group of bandits . The movie was co-written by Sandler and is being directed by his frequent collaborator Frank Coraci . Actors playing historical figures include David Spade as General Custer , Blake Shelton as Wyatt Earp and Vanilla Ice as Mark Twain , according to the Internet Movie Database . Sandler had not commented publicly on the walkout as of Friday morning , although people were criticizing him in comments posted on his Facebook page . `` Hey Adam , act like an adult for once . Respect others , especially Native Americans , '' wrote one commenter . In a statement sent to CNN and other media outlets , Netflix defended the movie as satire : . `` The movie has ridiculous in the title for a reason : because it is ridiculous . It is a broad satire of Western movies and the stereotypes they popularized , featuring a diverse cast that is not only part of -- but in on -- the joke . '' The Native American actors who spoke to ICTMN were n't laughing , however . One , Loren Anthony , posted a photo to Instagram from the set Monday along with a comment saying , `` Having a good time , great cast , great crew and feeling blessed to be here . '' But by Wednesday , the Navajo actor had become disillusioned and joined others in walking out . He told ICTMN he felt insulted because costumes he and others wore to portray Apache Indians were not authentic . `` We were supposed to be Apache , but it was really stereotypical and we did not look Apache at all . We looked more like Comanche , '' he said . According to ICTMN , a Native American adviser hired to help ensure the movie 's cultural authenticity also walked off the set in protest . Hill , the Choctaw actor , seemed to hold out hope that differences between the producers and Native American cast members could be resolved . `` I hope they will listen to us , '' he told ICTMN . `` We understand this is a comedy , we understand this is humor , but we wo n't tolerate disrespect .
