Answer:
He is hungry after the wolves ate his duck feast.
Step-by-step explanation:
Iktomi prayed to Inyan, the great-grandfather at the beginning of "Iktomi's Blanket" because he was hungry after the wolves ate his duck feast.
From the book, Iktomi's Blanket, Iktomi is left without food after his meal was devoured by the wolves, so he decided to pray to Inyan to help him because he was hungry and he also made an offering of his blanket, as it was the only thing he had to give.
