BYE, Circuit Judge.
Sally Higgins, a Native American, was employed by the District of South Dakota (DSD) as an Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA). After her resignation, Higgins brought an action under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2000e-17 (Title VII) alleging racial discrimination and retaliation. The district court 1 granted summary judgment on both claims finding Higgins failed to establish a prima facie case under McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 (1973). We affirm.
