Why aren’t people angry with the Crown who mandated these schools, funded them, and continued to ignore widespread death and abuse. After all, the GoC is the body that treatied with Indigenous communities and are ultimately responsible for the relationship.

A better question is why do you think it isn't necessary? While an apology isn't action, it's and admission of their role in it, and a beginning to heal. You can't start healing if one party refuses to accept responsibility. The responses from some of you are baffling.
