	Description:		Why do dogs like to stick their heads out of car windows? The CBC's Blair Sanderson has a look at that question as Canadians hit the road for the summer. An Innu language app is being developed for fluent speakers and new learners alike. We speak with Marguerite MacKenzie and Marie-Odile Junker, two professors working on the app, and Innu educator Kanani Davis. History was made as RoseAnne Archibald became the first female national chief of the Assembly of First Nations. We hear from Anastasia Qupee, former Grand Chief of the Innu Nation, about what it means to see Indigenous women in positions of power. Food insecurity can be a huge issue to those living in remote locations, and a teacher and her students in Nain wanted to solve that problem in their community. We hear about Nain's community greenhouse. A deadly disease could be affecting bat populations in Labrador, might this explain why we have so many flies this year? We pose the question to provincial ecologist Jessica Humber. Wondering what's happening at the Pye Centre this summer? We stopped by the farm to take a tour and to speak with some of the summer students working there this year. Finally, we hear about Canadian Olympic sprinter Aaron Brown as he gets ready for the 200 meters in Tokyo next month.
