You are doing such a great job bringing this wonderful young lady up right!  Congrats to her on her first bear, and to you for all you've done.
 
I believe I can help on the feeding pick: the yellow flower on the upper right, with the parsley-looking leaves and the discarded top to the left of it, is lomatium, a.k.a. desert parsley, a.k.a. biscuit root.  It has a big, edible tuber, and is one of the earliest flowering tubers.  My guess is that because the onions may be scarce with the late spring, they were digging biscuitroot.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
