Partially true.
First the term Eskimo is too much a generalization. Please look at the first link for explanations.
I think what you are refering to is the Inuit peoples.
The Inuit culture did/does have a somewhat open society when it comes to marriage and sexual relationships.
This openess does not mean it was extended to people outside the Inuit tribes. Meaning, just because a caucasian was visiting does not mean he was invited to share in the sexual openess.
Please read over the second link. You will find some info on this in the Life and Traditions section.

Yes, it is true. I read an article about this in my Business ethics class. I forget the details of the article but I think it has to do with survival and keeping the population up in such cold climates, where it is difficult to survive. They want to produce more eskimos. So it is acceptable in their culture.

IF THEY WERE SO HOSPITABLE I'M SURE IT WOULDN'T BE FOR SEX. IT WOULD BE LIKE IN THE OLD WEST DAYS WHEN A TRAVELER STOPPED AT YOUR HOME, YOU ALWAYS FED THEM AND THEY SLEPT WITH SOMEONE LIKE YOUR DAUGHTER WITH A BUNDLING BOARD IN BETWEEN. IT WAS TO SHARE BODY HEAT AND NOTHING ELSE
