The Vikings did not encounter Eskimos in their settlement. The Indians they found did not share any culture or language with them.
Furthermore, they were below the Arctic Circle.

And they did not go on a Viking rampage there or have a war. They built houses and tried to farm. They defended themselves.
And they noted that the local Indians were wretches in the way they lived.
