You're sitting on a textile gold mine there. Here they call paper mulberry wauke which was a "canoe plant" meaning it was introduced by the canoe voyaging ancient Hawaiians. Their interest in the plant was for making kapa which is a coarse cloth. https://www.manoaheritagecenter.org/moolelo/polynesian-introduction-plants/wauke/

We have mulberry trees here. The wild birds love to eat the berries, then poop purple on everything. Like your car or the laundry on the line.
