Members of the Ramapough Mountain Indians claim the newly released film “Out of the Furnace” falsely portrays them as lawless, violent, impoverished and drug-addicted inbreds.

The 17 plaintiffs in a suit filed Monday in federal court in Newark say the film, released Dec. 6, plays on negative stereotypes that the Ramapoughs, also known as the Ramapo Lenape Nation, have long endured.
