Do you believe in innate knowledge?

I believe, with an explanation. Over the fast three or four hundred years probably as many as two or three million American Indians were slaughtered and died under the most terrified conditions. Today an Indian child will wake up in the middle of the night screaming and claim that he sees something in the shadows in his room. There is nothing there, of course, but because of cross generation fears handed down from his ancestors, through his genes or DNA, his mind tells him to be terrified because he is going to die a horrible death just as all of his ancestors did in the past. Believe it or not!!
