A group of Australian partygoers have been filmed appearing to mock Aboriginal culture in a dance circle, reportedly at a wedding.
Indigenous influencer Sari-Ella Thaiday shared the clips, which appeared to have come from Snapchat, to her thousands of followers on TikTok with the caption "share around, they're at it again".
The clips have a headline that reads "Mossman locals mocking Aboriginal culture" and her post included the hashtag "racism".
Thaiday was flooded with comments condemning the group for their behaviour at the party in the far north Queensland town.
She later commented that she had since found out the dancing took place at a wedding.
"RIP to the 'happy' couple, they cursed now," she wrote.
She also labelled the behaviour "Coloniser energy".

Influencer Abbie Chatfield reposted the video and labelled the clips "repulsive", urged any of her followers who knew the people to "have a chat to them".
She then shared a message from someone who said the people in the video were receiving threats.
"Silly choices which they are paying for," the person wrote.
"I don't think sharing on your widely followed platform is helping. Perpetuating hate surely isn't the goal."

Chatfield said people should be held accountable and others needed to know they should call these people out for their actions.
She said what the group were doing were "fertilising the soil of racism in Australia".
"We have a huge issue with race in this country and the fact these people can't see their little jokes around Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture … s**t like this only perpetuates it, only allows it and opens the door for more insidious s**t.
"When you allow this and don't speak out on this it perpetuates the entire notion Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are not worth respecting, which they f***ing are.
"I'm sick of this bullsh*t of gaslighting minorites, this idea people should be protected after they were racist."
Chatfield said the behaviour wasn't funny, was racist and disgusting and people shouldn't be protected because they were white and they "made a mistake".

The footage was initially shared by Belgian DJ Netsky who later removed it and publicly apologised for the post.
Internationally renowned DJ Netsky was working at the party, which took place on a private yacht docked in Auckland, when he filmed the video.
In the footage, a number of Pākehā could be seen pulling pūkana faces at the camera and using a stick as a taiaha.
Māori Party co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer said she was "disappointed" with the people in the video, who she at first believed to be foreigners "who didn't know any better".
"I think it's a sad reflection on what should otherwise be a fabulous race."
