Pierre Poupart was a fur trading partner of Nicholas Perrot on June 4, 1671, when they along with four Jesuit priests, Daumont Lusson, and coureurs de bois and tribal chiefs claimed the western territory for New France at Sault Ste. Marie. (See the 1982 edition of the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, page 517). Lusson cited Perrot for illegal fur trading on September 3, 1671 and the furs were confiscated.
Pierre Poupart was working for the explorer René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle when he was sent out with fifteen other men from Fort Frontenac in 1678-1679 to trade and trap furs in the Green Bay ahead of building his ship Le Griffon above Niagara Falls on Lake Erie. La Salle intended to ship them back across the lakes to his Fort Conti. Even though all these men had been paid in gold in advance, six of them including Poupart deserted and sold their furs independently. Several were captured by Henri de Tonty. (See Louis Hennepin. Description of Louisiana . .(1683) ed. trans. (New York: John G. Shea, 1880), p. 103.
